no .. my sister is in arizona . the heat sucks! i will take ny weather any day .
I was in Salt Lake City in July and thought I was going to die! The whole dry heat thing is nonsense. 106 is flipping hot!
I've lived in SC and NY...back in NY now with zero plans to move south ever again. I had neighbors who literally cooked an egg on the concrete driveway down there. Took awhile, but you wouldn't be able to do that here....thank goodness!
Just don't rub it in. No one likes to hear someone who brags about where he is now, if they would secretly like to do it too but can't afford it, or can't for some other reason.
haha...I used to rub it in (gently of course) on my vendors in WI when it's 70 degrees here in January!
I relocated from Texas to Minnesota, grew up in Florida where I'm now for the holiday. I'm the opposite, I love the cold. Minnesota is 22 right now, Texas is 32 and Florida is 82. I think Texas has the perfect weather for Thanksgiving right now. I'm NOT looking forward to going outside to buy groceries!
No, but I may feel a little guilty when my old city is 105 degrees with the sun burning down, and I am enjoying the clouds, drizzle, and 65 degrees.
When its 20 degrees and snowing at my Minnesota home on Christmas Eve, while my family in Miami is in crappy 80 degrees and Santa is having a heatstroke, I might have a slight moment of guilt as I sip on my eggnog. It'll pass though, its a Catholic thing. Guilt, that is
I used to !
Now I feel like I made the right decision.
Just feel happy that you have had the means to do what you had to do along with any sacrifices you made to tear up the psychological roots and move to what you considered a better place to live.
As this nation progresses to a nation of have and have nots because of the cost of housing is so much higher in the warm areas of this country, count your blessings this Thanksgiving that you're not shoveling snow to get out of the driveway to go to work.
I'd gladly shovel snow every once in a while as long as it means I live somewhere where seasons exist. I mean for what its worth, we've had several snowfalls since October 27th and we've yet needed to use a shovel. Probably will be one or two weeks before it snows enough that you actually need to shovel the driveway. You don't need a shovel for 1-2 inches. Ice scraping is more annoying to me but that only takes a minute at most.
Hot humid weather that lasts into winter? No thanks. I did 20 years of that growing up.
Oh, also not only do I not have a car at the moment, but my job is literally behind my house. I walk to work. I'll worry about shovelling the driveway when I have the luxury of driving again
I moved from the Northeast to Texas years ago, and I envy everybody back home. They get changes in seasons, and the cold only lasts a couple of months. We have 100+ heat for half the year. I'll take the cold over that any day.
Not me. I never have to get up an hour earlier in the morning morning to scrape heat off my windshield and to shovel the heat off my driveway.
I never have to get off work and find myself scraping more heat off my windshield and brushing heat off my car before I can go home.
I never worry about sliding on the heat into someone else's car. I never worry about getting stuck in the heat.
I walk straight from my air-conditioned house into my car. Once I close the car door and the air conditioner starts blowing, the heat is no thought at all.
Surely you jest. I lived 60 years up north and now I’m enjoying beautiful sunny weather all the time. Not one shred of guilt here.
