It's remarkable to me how much my subjective experience of temperature is related to my environment, specifically, latitude.

When we were in New York, the house was set at 70°F and I was perfectly comfortable. Perhaps because the outdoor temperature was so much lower, 30 degrees or more. Here in Florida, I'm cold when it's 70°F in the house, and the outside temperature is only two degree lower.

Bizarre.
