Also, with that highest tax rate comes benefits as well. For one, I drive at most once a week, which is saving me quite a bit of money (even though gas prices here suck).

Six months of Brutally Cold Winter? Well, its the second week of november and it has yet to get cold. I was at the Obama rally all night and it was above 60. So unless it stays "brutally cold" through the end of May I am going to disagree with that statement. Even though you were exaggerating you are correct, winter in Atlanta was a breeze. I would get quite amused at the people thinking it was 'brutally cold when it was in the mid 40's.

My "Chicago is very cold" story is from Memorial Day weekend a few years back...we were waiting in line to get into a club and only one person (a Chicago resident) had a coat. It was a very frigid night - May 31st - and all of us took turns wearing the coat.

I'm sure that doesn't happen often in May/June Chicago...but it was certainly unexpected.

We can all agree that winter is much more tolerable in Atlanta
