Nothing real brutal about the weather here. It gets to be a bit more humid than I like though in the summer.
I had a professor once though that said "You know what kind of climate we have here? It's a Two/Too Climate! You know what that is? That means it's either too damned hot or too damned cold!!!"

On the contrary, when my family members from Texas come here, they get OWNED by the altitude in about .5 seconds. I'd like to see you hippies survive a winter here.
tell that to all the heat stroke victims.
altitude shmaltitude. so your ears pop. big whoop

meh, and your oxygen carrying capacity is greatly diminished. kind of a problem.
err, technically im wrong. i guess i should say people at higher altitudes have a higher oxygen carrying capacity becuase their body has produced more hemoglobin from living in such a place with low oxygen content. ours wouldnt necessarily be "lower" if we went up there. glad i cleared this up.

I'm trying to find the altitude change between my hometown and that of Colorado Springs. Because that change does nothing to me.
Edit: Difference of 4762 ft.

Well, to be fair I live at over seven thousand feet, so it it's pretty much mountain living, but a hundred miles in any direction turns into desert.

To be affected by altitude, you probably have to DO something while in that environment. I don't think most people walking down the street just collapse, but a lot of people get altitude sickness aka the things dorian described although often much worse. Much more likely to happen to skiers or other adventurers rather than people passing through who happen to stop and get a taco. Most people just get winded really easily and can't do a lot of strenuous activity until they become more adjusted to the environment. My cousin got it while skiing and I remember my Uncle having to stop playing football after about five minutes because he got hella tired. Weird stuff.
Oh, and hypothermia > heatstroke. Fucker.

Well hiking isn't exactly getting a taco though it's not like I'm jogging or anything. Though I know for certain a 2000 ft difference doesn't affect me in the slightest when it comes to real exercise.
Then again, these days I'm really out of shape. Perhaps I should be saying that 4 or more years ago when I was much more fit, the changes in altitude didn't affect me.
