I HATE Summer, at least when the humidity is WAYYY up, and you sweat and

[raccoon]

you don't ever dry off either, not like you do in NM.

Used to think I'd like to live in a cold area, now I know I don't like cold either. (COOL is ok, though.)

Why can't we have winters like in SC, and summers like in Canada? :shrug: Oh, wouldn't it be nice!

1. Try the San Francisco Bay Area or CA Central Coast

Lovely weather

5. San Francisco?

But raccoon said he doesn't like cold weather! I guess the east side of SF is good. Maybe. Definitely stay away from the GGB in July, though. 50 degrees is too cold for summer.

7. S.F. Peninsula:

Palo Alto, Menlo Park, San Jose... You want to be inland from the ocean.

East of San Francisco: Walnut Creek, San Leandro, Moraga... on the other side of the Oakland Hills.

2. You must live in South Florida where the humidity is horrendous.

I lived there most of my life and did not realize that there were actual seasons in other parts of the world. Now, I live in North Georgia where the weather is perfect, except in summer, of course. But at least, the heat is only around for a few months. People complain about the summer humidity up here. I tell them to take a trip to South Florida if they want to know what real humidity is.

4. Nope--SC. nt

3. My motto: "I'd rather sweat than shiver."

Really.
Truly.

:D

6. I would rather shiver than sweat. Really. Truly.

In winter, you can always bundle up. But in summer, there is just so much you can take off without being arrested for indecent exposure.

8. You can also only bundle up if you are somewhere that has what you need,

like at home. If you get caught out away from home and it gets colder, you're screwed.

This is true for any extreme, be it hot or cold. I'm acclimated to the heat and can take more than most people. You're acclimated to the cold and can take at least more than me. But, I'd still rather sweat as that's my body's natural cooling system, than to try and rely on my body's useless heat-capturing system, i.e., body hair ;)

9. Yeah in Summer you have to crank up the AC which costs money.

In Winter I just bundle up all the time and turn the central unit off. Saves hundreds of dollars!

10. Exactly. I once went to Florida in May.

I couldn't wait to get out of that Hell and fly back home to NH. It's nice in the winter, but I'd never live there, because the summers are unbearable. The best scenario is a winter home in FL and a summer home in NH. (Actually, the NH home would be for spring, summer and fall). I'd miss the crocus, the budding leaves of spring, and in the fall I'd miss the foliage and the crispness of the air.
