sometimes I feel like I'd rather die then go outside when it's above a temperature of like 80 and maybe even a bit lower

no, they all migrate to the mediterranean beaches to roast in oil and smell of armpits, none to the atlantic beaches

I am from Turkey and grew up in northern Sweden. I can barely survive at 20c, with the sun out I just stay indoors, if I have to go outside a hat is necessary and I walk wherever I can find shade. My step-dad however, who is swedish loves the sun & heat. He likes when it's 30c+ and sits in the sun all day...
So I guess it depends on the person.

Just read through this thread again. Guess I'm eating my words now
We lived in Anchorage for one year before buying the house we currently live in. It's about an hour north of Anchorage. Overall, Alaska still suits me better than the lower 48 from a climatological perspective, but we are literally on the front lines for climate change. As I'm typing this, we have been gripped by the worse heatwave I've ever experienced since our move to Alaska in Summer 2015. I kinda feel like I'm dying a little more inside with each passing day. We've been in the 80s all week and have also registered a few 90+ degree temps. This is unheard of around here.
It's almost as if we never left the lower 48. Sigh.

If person would be extremely well adapted against cold weather...
* He/she should have very small earlobes ... maybe also bit thicker ones vs normal (more blood lines and meat/fat around) and located very close to his/her head.
* He/she should have very short fingers & toes.
* He/she should have very small/short nose.
Small size (like all artic people are) ''helps'' ... as they'll need less food (and food can be limiting factor in those areas) ... but small size alone does not help against cold.
Some says that Asians' epicanthic folds would protect eyes against cold ... but honestly eyes are not first thing you'll risk to freeze in cold weather. They are those I listed above.

No such thing as cold adaptation exists.
