You might want to rethink that one. I've lived in Phoenix, AZ for years now and our summers here are MUCH hotter than Pittsburgh's.

Pittsburgh has this rep for having these horrible winters when truthfully we MAY get a serious snowstorm two or three times out of the whole winter. Likewise, I think we only get HORRIBLE humidity a few times during the summer, too. A few days here or there that are unbearable. Otherwise, I find it rather comfortable.

Are you my twin??? *smile*

I swear Pittsburghers want to convince everyone that this is the worst place on earth, I just don't get it. This is a quite mild climate. Even the winters aren't that bad.

I agree with this too.

See I don't agree with this

The data is there to look at, Pittsburgh is humid in the summer. Not just here and there, but the majority of the summer. Is it the most humid place in the union? No...but to claim it is not humid the majority of the summer is factually inaccurate.

Most of the summer is in the 80's

Right, and with humanity in the 80-90 range. That isn't comfortable, is it so bad you can't go outdoors? No. But if you want to do something like ride your bike to work you get pretty wet by the time you get there. If you don't do anything outdoors it will not matter as much.

I spent this past summer in Florida, I wanted to cry on a most regular basis.

I tried to give you props for this, "cry on a most regular basis," but I have to "spread the love first." You're just hysterical at times!

Huh? I never said that the summers are hotter in Pittsburgh, rather the humidity makes it rather uncomfortable. I would much prefer 90-110 degree whether with low humidity than 80-90 with high humidity. I would probably prefer Vegas summer heat if it wasn't for the fact that it starts to effect my breathing (The air is too dry).

Trust me, you don't want the high heat and sun that we have.

Huh? Why would I trust you? Are you suggesting I'm some how wrong about my own personal preferences? I've lived in areas that get 110 with dry heat before and I say it again, I prefer that over Pittsburgh's summers.

Maybe RockLobster could tell us? He is a weather person.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
