It isn't that hot or humid in Atlanta compared to the midwest. Really. It lasts a lot longer, but that wasn't hard at all to adjust to.

Why? Doesn't your house have heat?

I was out in t-shirt and shorts tonight when we ate at Scalini's and did our grocery shopping. We got home around 9:30 this evening. I thought the wind was refreshing.

I have no doubt that the posters hailing from the NE and MW are correct - Atlanta's summer heat and humidity are not particularly bad at all compared with the conditions in New England or the mid West.

If you're looking for the elusive whiners and complainers about Atlanta's summer conditions, though, you'll probably find them among transplants from the west coast, particularly the Pacific NW. To those of us accustomed to the west coast climate, summers in the entire eastern part of the continent seem brutally oppressive. Atlanta's summer weather isn't especially bad - it's just in the bad category, so far as I'm concerned.

It is all subjective.

All I know is that for me is that it is freakin' freezing out there.

Don't mind so much the cold, but can't stand any wind.

Mattie,

We are SFL bound tomorrow, where it will be 80 and not so humid. For me the only truly wonderful thing that SFL has going for it, the WINTER.

Cranked up nice and high, as a matter of fact. Unfortunately for me, my dogs aren't the type to lay around by the fire. They want their walks, nice, long, freezing cold walks.

This cold weather doesn't bother me much. I just hate that one day the weather could be 65 but two days later it's 25, it's weird.

I know! It is weird. I was walking around Grant Park in a pair of shorts Sunday and shivering rentlessly in my bed last night. But I'll take these swings to get that warm weather I love!
