Parts of Upstate NY do feel like a frozen wasteland, even if they can't technically be called one. Upstate NY in March and early April is soulcrushing, just bare trees everywhere, dark gray/brownish snow, clouds, too warm to call it winter but too cold to call it spring. It's hard to find a place more depressing than that, FirebirdCamaro is absolutely right when he says its like a gray curtain
Upstate New York is sunnier than here in March and April. Buffalo gets 51% of possible sun in April, we don't even get that much in our sunniest month. So consider yourself lucky. There are places that are far, far, far cloudier than Buffalo or anywhere in upstate New York. Millions of people in the world live in climates that are cloudier than anywhere in the lower 48.

Yes - if they're getting about 50% of possible sun annually, they aren't all that badly off at all in global terms - and I'm a sun lover.

It's not distributed evenly though, Nov&Dec see around 25% possible sun, while July sees 70%, so the one time of year you'd want sun to combat the cold, it isn't there
Idiotic and foolish people ranting and raving on about the so-called "ugly" lovely sunny and dry weather which is certainly not appropriate for Australia
They should embrace the cloudiness and wetness because this doesn't happen very often
Love looking at maps of Aussie and seeing so much greenness in the SW, S and E. How often does this happen? Rarely!

There's more to it than just that, like the fact that March and April are still mad cold which really starts to wear you out if you get what I'm saying. You really can't put your winter jacket away for good until May. Winter works overtime there
If a climate doesn't get regular subzero(F) windchills with raging blizzards in winter and have springs that frequently go from 20F to 80F within a couple of days with lots of tornado outbreaks, it's too "boring ass" to even be mentioned on here.
When someone all they do is post boring climates because their weather knowledge is so small that that is the only climates they're familiar with. They likely can't understand the dynamics of a true four season climate.

You lack critical thinking skills. It's your repetitive ass posts that get annoying. If my observations were really wrong, than a horde of regulars wouldn't agree with me every time I post something related to your threads being annoying. Seriously, you're like a cancer for this forum. You literally contribute nothing besides retarded ass posts. And your weather knowledge is severely lacking. You think FL gets thunderstorms every day and hurricanes every year.
Was flying into Miami yesterday and the woman sitting next to me looked out and commented that she was shocked that it was raining because "Miami is always sunny"
