- Go to the movies. Movie theaters are so cold that you might as well bring your polar vortex gear, no matter what the weather. Sure, you just paid $15 to see Step Up 15: Rooftop Flashmob or whatever, but at least you'll be shivering as you watch.
- Snack on ice cubes. When it's hot as balls outside, regular water just won't do. Bonus points for rubbing them on yourself.

- Host a water balloon fight. All your dreams of being drenched in water, no pool required.
