I grew up down in Houston and I couldn't wait to get away from that humidity.-1! That's insane. I can't wrap my head around that kind of cold. Coldest I've ever felt was maybe like 5-10F, and that was in England, and I wanted to die. Anything less than 50 is too cold for this gulf coast guy.

You jinxed us. It's fucking 25 degrees this morning!
-4 with a wind chill of -16, snow coming later. We might make it back up to freezing (32) by next Monday/Tuesday. Quit whining...You jinxed us. It's fucking 25 degrees this morning!

wow ..... ya'll pussies!
LOL ......... ......... Wasn't super cold last night .... maybe around 39 ....... I was out in the yard doing stuff in a t-shirt and shorts ...... of course, I have a pretty good bit of built in insulation!
Cold makes me feel all stressed out. Scrunching up my shoulders and everything else feels almost exactly like extreme tension, and sometimes fools my brain into feeling that way.
90 and 90 is like a nice relaxing bath. It's almost impossible to be stressed in that environment. You really know that you're a part of the universe, because you can feel it rubbing against your skin as you swim through the air.
Air shipping for guitars is dangerous, because temperature and humidity regimes can be extreme, and flight loading (it can happen several times) can be very brutal (post delivery the same)... Ask sender to release strings some 2 semitones before shipping, and to put long piece of soft material between strings and frets/fretboard/pickups. Next level what can be done is removing knobs, pot nuts/washers, switch nut/screws and packing them separately, if possible - screw pickups deeper - shortly - deepening all possible what can be damaged. Guitar's body must be centred and stabilised into case from all sides. But never put something into headstock department of case, headstock and neck's upper part must be free! Bolt-on guitar necks can be dismantled. Use double carton box without information about guitar inside - good working old anti theft method. But mark box as "Fragile!" + Glass symbol, and "Insured", mark "Top-Up^" side, add Umbrella symbol, do it from all sides. All it together will as minimum double safety for this shipping "lottery"...
