>>2405520The only way to acclimate is time.
I grew up in Louisiana and I absolutely hated winter. I live in Oregon now and the winters here aren’t nearly as bad even though the temperature is much lower and it’s always wet. It absolutely feels colder in Louisiana despite being much warmer. People in the south think it’s the humidity but they’re just retarded. It’s due to acclimation.
On average it takes someone 2 days to acclimate to warmer temperatures but a week to acclimate to colder temps. If you leave from Alaska to go to Miami, by the second day it’s still hot but not brutal. Do the opposite and you’ll be freezing cold for a week while the locals are wearing light jackets.
In most of the country this isn’t that big of a deal. In the winters it’s cold and in the summer it’s hot. But winter weather is the south is extremely erratic. They get a few days with highs in the 30’s or 40’s interspersed by a couple of days with highs in the 70’s. People acclimate very quickly to those days with high temperatures, but the temperature drops a few days later and 45° is down right cold. Everyone has reacclimatized to the warm temps, so relatively mild but cooler weather feels horrendously cold. Like, people are walking around in down parkas (if they even bother to leave the house because it’s so god damn cold outside). And they can never get a chance to really get use to those “cold” temperatures because it only lasts a few days before it shoots back up again.
I’ve lived in 4 states: Louisiana, Michigan, West Virginia, and Oregon. Louisiana has by far the worst weather.
