Day to day life is just more annoying when it's extremely cold.
Getting an Uber takes an hour. Public transit starts to disintegrate. Cars won't start. Outdoor jobs become a challenge when equipment starts to fail. Life carries on normally at +30.
I understand that far more people die worldwide of heatwaves primarily because society overall is not dumb enough to live in frigid climates en masse, but nobody's health is at risk being unprotected in +30. Conversely, our Friday night windchill of -46 is quite dangerous for anyone outdoors.
