\\\'\\\'[quote in which Frasier describes hot weather as being \\\"like the Ninth Circle of Hell\\\"]\\\'\\\'
*** Which is a rare case of the writers (or Frasier) screwing up a cultural reference. According to TheDivineComedy the Ninth Circle is unbearably \\\'\\\'cold.\\\'\\\'

In response to the edit reason: \\\"No. They treat it like Hell as an inferno. Dante\\\'s vision of hell is NOT the popular vision. They make more references to Hell being hot throughout the series.\\\"

No-one\\\'s saying the characters don\\\'t think Hell is hot. They\\\'re saying the specific concept of the Ninth Circle of Hell is from Dante Alighieri\\\'s \\\'\\\'TheDivineComedy\\\'\\\', in which it\\\'s described as very cold. Frasier has read it, and he\\\'d know that, and he\\\'d probably be very pedantic about it as well.
