LOL, OK, so you brought on the rain! I thought it was me planning to get some things done in the yard tonight. Maybe you brought on the 1st & I brought on the 2nd.

LOL, OK the 1st one was aimed for you but got me for good measure. The 2nd one was meant for me, because I couldn't do what I intended to do in the yard, then.

Where are you living that you can wear shorts in the winter? I know up in North Charlotte it doesn't get that warm in the winter. Maybe in November or March, but December-February has been cold.

Shorts weather is more common in Charlotte than snow days. I didn't say that it was every day.

and, it also depends upon your personal definition of "shorts weather". Personally, it has to get over 90 degrees for me to put on shorts...and, we don't have any of those in the winter!!

What would you say the average temp in the summer would be? Does it typically stay above 90?
Heh..less humid MAYBE...it still feels like you are standing in the bowels of hell on any afternoon from June to early September..like I said ..at least up there the heat will come and go, here it stays with you like a bad habit/

I'm with you, I do enjoy the warm weather a LOT more than the cool/cold. Our weather here is more extreme than in the UK, and we have some huge fluctuations in a day. For example, a morning might be 70 degrees (F) and the late afternoon/evening 95 degrees. The temps fluctuate more in the winter time. When I was in Staffordshire, UK one Christmas, the one thing that I noticed was that the temps stayed constant whether it be day/night.

However, the last couple of days have been a little warmer than usual. We have had heat indexes of over 100 degrees (F). this is kind of normal in late July/August and not usually this early in the year. However, like most of the world, we had an extraordinarily severe winter, so, I suppose a severe summer is bound to follow!
