From sunny & warm to icy cold in two days. (top)

This is crazy. One day it's above 90 and you need A/C, the next day below 40 and you need heat.

At least up north you just keep it cranked on heat, no need to adjust. If you're going from 40 to 0, you still have the heat cranked, nothing to do.

In the meantime it's been sunny and 70's in California this whole time. Sometimes I miss living there. Dry summers with no humidity and consistent winter weather. Ah, those were the days.

And don't forget those silly fires that could destroy your house when the wind even slightly blows above 10 mph.

Nope, still worse changes. Especially since airmasses are still shifting from cold, dry to warm, humid.

Today seems decent.

So that is why there were not many people in Texas before the era of air conditioner, but even with AC, it is still not comfortable enough, but at least liveable....

Meh, with the a/c it feels like any other southern state, until you go outside

I think the only big city in the South before A/C was New Orleans. But their homes were designed for the heat and humidity.

Charleston was the 4th largest city in the country until the mid 17th century.

New Orleans was the 3rd largest for a period in the 19th century.

Cool, just pointing out it wasn't the only big city in the South.
