Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26

[Roger Smith]

I don't know who may win the Super Bowl but in the Snow Bowl the current score is

BOS 39.5 __ SEA 0.0

(inches of snow to date this winter)

Neither is far from their seasonal norms atm.  Boston averages about 47 inches a year, Seattle averages about 7. I'm glad the game didn't turnout like the snowfall averages.

hot weather is absolutely more tolerable than cold. how can people live where most of the winter is like the past two weeks

Try living through a Texas summer like I did (twice) and get back to me. Absolutely horrendous.

start restricting calories now and your body will be more heat tolerant by summer

[forkyfork]

Excess weight can have a significant adverse impact on these natural cooling mechanisms. A study published in the specialist journal Nature in 2018 indicated that there is a positive correlation between obesity and body temperature in men and postmenopausal women. Researchers found that not only do subcutaneous fat reserves act as a layer of insulation, hindering heat exchange and therefore the cooling process, but that overweight people produce more heat. On the one hand, the higher body mass increases the basal metabolic rate and, on the other, the metabolically active adipose tissue results in the secretion of numerous hormones and semiochemicals that affect heat regulation. 

Further studies revealed that physical activity undertaken by obese people at high temperatures result in a higher rise in body temperature and heart rate than people of an average weight – and are therefore placed under greater strain.
