I wasn't talking about the Poconos. I did speak of Coney Island.

I know...I was talking about the Poconos. Coney Island is not a good comparison to the North Georgia Mountains - of course you would need a car to get to the mountains...

I wasn't talking about any mountains. I spoke of Coney Island because if you go there you can get a good sea breeze.

Everything half dark in the middle of the day. Wow! Now that's summer time fun! If you like it more power to you. But give me sunshine and clear days. A few days of heat is worth it if that's the price you pay for it. But that's just my opinion.

Its quite obvious someone has never spent a summer in Seattle.

I've seen many of your pictures of Seattle before and they're beautiful. Only problem is one reason they are so gorgeous is because they are always taken on sunny days. The reality is though those sunny days are a rarity in Seattle. It would be more realistic or more accurate if you posted pictures of Seattle on drab, dreary days.

When you see pictures of Atlanta on a sunny day however, that's more of a true representation of what the city is like most days.

Seattle is undeniably temperate year round with distinct seasons yet no radical temperature shifts between them like most other cities in the US.



She and others have complained about hot weather in the South in other instances. It isn't exactly a stretch to reason that they'd come in here, in a thread about which climate you prefer, and vote for the city with fewer hot days.

I didn't like summers in NY either, except the ones like this year, cool and rainy. That is why I voted for Seattle over Atlanta.

These pics bring back memories, particularly the pic of Mt. Rainier.

The irony in a lot of these Seattle comments is that I talk to my Seattle friend every day and she says that they are having a freakishly sunny summer and at this point are desperate for rain!

Sunny is fine by me. If the temperature is 75 degrees F and there is a breeze from the Pacific, I have no complaints about that. Throw in a chilled bottle of pop, some ice cream(orange sherbert preferably) and some sunglasses, lovely.

I can hardly deal with hot weather at all. If it gets to 80 here I don't know what to do. As much as I may complain about the Winter at the time, I love my cold, snowy, rainy weather.
