I'm thinking anyone who would make this statement should probably avoid living in Seattle.

Part of the reason I'm trying to leave Hotlanta. It's not even April and temperatures are hitting the 80's down here. It is humid and the air feels putrid to me. The pollen is making things worse.

Yes, humid heat is also horrible. I just don't care too much for humidity all around. Lol

Don't bother trying to explain that to anyone. The haters will hate. Just the way it is.

Summers are absolutely gorgeous in Seattle......probably one of the most beautiful places in the country DURING this time. Other times...........well, not so much......too much doom and gloom.

Driving back tonight on I-5 South, we hit a odd snow storm right before getting to Northgate. And there was a flash of lightning and thunder. It's been months since I've been around thunder/lightning and it actually freaked me out, lol. That's the only thing I will ever miss about Florida.

Holy cow did anyone else hear that THUNDER earlier? The entire sky lit up brightly blue, and that thunder just seemed to roll on forever! I loved it, too bad it was just once. Would have liked more, I love thunder storms!

Unfortunately, we don't get it around here often. And when we do its usually short lived. I do remember once though years ago we had a stalled thunderstorm over the area for about three days straight. That was awesome, would be cool if it happened again!
