QUICK POLL

🔥 Or 🧊 — pick your poison

It’s the age-old debate: Which is worse — 100° or 15°? Swampy sweat and sunscreen melting into your eyeballs, or your eyelashes freezing together just walking to the car? We’re taking it to the polls — cast your vote and settle this once and for all.
(And no, “depends on the humidity” isn’t an option. Be brave.)
