Is the Weather a HUGE pain to deal with?

In the winter this is all I want to see

LOL, as long as I'm not driving under those trees when ice is falling off them!

Oh, I've seen really dusty wind this winter, when it was real windy and dry. I was driving through areas with open fields and farmland and got a good idea of what Kansas must have looked like in the Dust Bowl era.

I agree with the 75 to 85 every day with no rain or snow. I love wind, though, and if it's gonna be windy I like it to be a little warmer so I'm not chilled. A sunny 70 degree day with no wind is about perfect, but add wind or even a breeze and it's a little chilly to me. But I don't think anyplace exists that it's 75 to 85 every single day and never rains or snows.

No matter what the temperature, if it never rains or snows, you have a serious drought to contend with, and no trees!

I like any kind of warm wind, from a light breeze to the kind that almost knocks you over!

I don't consider "dusty" dirty. I mean, no matter where you go if the wind kicks up the soil it's going to be dusty. Dirty to me means full of pollutants. I like to see a good dust storm!

Dust storms can lead to very bad problems with individuals with respiratory issues. Just ask some of those folks in AZ.

Yeah, I should have thought of that. I am lucky enough not to have allergies or respiratory problems so to me it's not an issue.

It's not too bad. Hot summers, nice falls, pretty springs and mild winters. We get snow but the most I've seen in 5 yrs of living here was a foot at 1 time. It's the ice you gotta watch out for.
