Do you miss the seasons or get tired of year round summer? (Tampa: homes, allergens)

And that would include not doing your research . Sometimes I wonder what people think "sunshine state" means exactly.

Are you sure? Every summer it rains a bunch and then goes back to being hot right after. This isn't California. If you only see rain 2-3 times a summer, then I'm shocked.

Just depends on where you live. I am on the gulf so i don't get the rain like you guys do east of me. I have only had around 2" of rain so far this month.

If it was that bad, millions of people wouldn't continue to live up there. You obviously haven't driven through one of OUR thunderstorms yet. It's also a "white-out"!

This is a very childish and annoying argument. This one-upping someone else is getting old. "Ohh but my snow", "Ohh but mowing the lawn in 90+ degrees" blah, blah, blah....grow up. This is EARTH, take it or leave it.

In defence of those of us who choose to live in the NE.Actually roads are rarely snow covered in the winter up here in the Northeast, perhaps for a couple of days after a major snowfall which may happen 2-3 times per winter..
I've read embellishments that claim we do nothing but shovel snow everyday for 8 months and the sun never shines for a similar period of time.
As for the cold? at least i can dress appropriately the colder it gets, in Florida you can only take off so much to cool down before an A/C environment is the only answer.

Not sure what part of the NE you came from but your assertion above does not represent Buffalo NY.

Roads are often snow covered in the winter, there were actually 10 snow events this past winter, Buffalo averages 300+ cloudy days a year and it was also one of the coldest winters on record.

None of that is embellishment, check for yourself

You havent lived in the boroughs of NYC where ice/snow covered streets can remain that way for weeks at a time.

For "some" just like up north! Same rule applies.

This back & forth that your snow is worst than our rain is childish & ridiculous.
