I can tell you that I learned, in my years supervising letter carriers in Bangor, ME, I learned something folks don't think much about. The crew, as a whole, much preferrred winter over summer. Nasty as they can be, especially with the cold winds that typically follow one of our nor'easters, the crew much preferred winter to summer.
You can dress in layers for the winter. There ain't any gettin' out of the summer heat.
Living in Maine, I can well believe anyone would prefer the cold over the heat. My years as a letter carrier, so long as it wasn't cold AND raining I could deal. Being wet and cold is the most miserable ever. I'll take the heat over that.
