What is better.

when they get excited about ice on the roads here it's more of a joke than anything to be concerned with. I've driven on their "ice covered roads" before and the only danger is getting chips in your windshield and paint from all the rock/sand they throw down. I think half the population would die from shock if we got a real ice storm or blizzard here..

I hate humidity as well. It makes me feel all gross and sticky, though it's not as bad here as it is in other places. and Jules I second you on the Phoenix. My brother lived outside of Phoenix and I died visiting summer months sometimes.

Once it gets up to about 116-117, it's nearly not possible for humans to even exist outside. People who've never experienced it really can not even imagine how insanely hot it is. Seriously. Insanely. Hot. (I grew up in Phoenix, family still lives there, would never go back to live there. Won't even visit from about March thru Nov.)

I second both of you.

Ill take our heat with often "cool breezes."

In Phoenix it is like a blow dryer hitting you in the face when the wind try's to blow. Not only that the night in the 90's are absurd!

Comeon, global cooling...

It's not that the ice is so bad, it's that the locals have no idea how to drive on ice. So it's dangerous, but more due to the humans than the ice.

That, and COSA doesn't have enough equipment to handle ice on roads.

Having had my share of Lake Effect snow and ice and -20F days, I'm familiar with all that, but I don't complain that everything in SA shuts down with a bit of ice. I'm happy for the excuse of a day off

<raises hand!> Yep, that would be ME!! NO CLUE how to drive on ice! So I don't. I'm all too happy for an excuse to stay home and get cabin fever for a couple of days! (Was just looking at our little videos of the kids riding a boogie board down the frozen lawn last winter. Fun times!!)
