Wow. I'm Canadian and I've seen it pretty cold. It's pretty cold these days and no one is grumpy. That's because we're oh...what was it, oh yeah, Canadian. Do people in Alaska, Norway, Russia fight because it's so cold? No. They were born into that climate. It's what they're used to.
If you went to those places and were grumpy I could see that because you're used to the warmness of where you live.
People in those places and here in Canada don't get grumpy because 0c isn't weather 'out of the blue'. It's normal where it should apply.
Come on Iago...
I agree with Iago (particularly considering I am generally freezing at any weather below 55-60F,
). in NY that would mean from Mid-October to end-of-April.
There is obviously a change of attitude between people living in warm climates and cold climates. The colder climates do not necessarily induce people to fight (to the contrary in fact, warmer climates bore hot blooded people), but it does affect their general outlook on life. As a general rule, warm climate makes the people more social, as they spend more time outdoors, socializing. World's more hospitable nations are generally the ones closer to the equator (The Mediterranean, South America, Middle East in general, etc..)
Plus, people generally just look better
Probably due to the fact that they wear less garments and thus have to take better care of themselves.
Personally, I would not mind living in a constant 80-90F environment year-round
