Well to be fair a lot of northern regions had fireplaces even back in the old days. I wonder what Southerners did to cool off in the 1800s? Dive into a lake or stream perhaps?
Probably, yes - though it isn't just a case of fireplaces but also insulation and double-glazed windows. There's a reason why so many people in Europe perished during cold winters of the past - whether they succumbed to cold-related illnesses or crops failed extensively due to lack of warmth (as was the case in the 'Year without a summer').
Simple fact of the matter is - very hot and very cold weather are not particularly nice for most people, and cause a lot of problems. No matter how many times snj90 stamps his feet and pretends that excessively cold weather is in any way preferable to what Floridians experience very summer.
I hate hip-hop/rap. I like country, rock, and metal, for the most part. But I'll at least listen to anything, really, as long as it isn't hip-hop or rap.
This is real country. Not that rap-inspired **** you hear nowadays.
Hell I'll even listen to some Stevie Wonder or The Spinners sometimes. I like 70s "funk" music as well.
Dierks Bentley is pretty good. I like quite a few of his songs. Many modern country artists do make good music. It's just the bad ones really **** it up since everyone from the radio stations to the local rodeo is playing their garbage.
Clouds today. Check out that nimbocrappus spread from the small storm in the Everglades.
That's awesome. My trip BEFORE last, there was also a high over the Gulf, but the weather in Daytona Beach was a totally different story. Every single day was overcast until noon, and thunderstorms brought 3.5 inches of rain in the 2 days' time.
Didn't that same HP bring upper 90s and triple digits to inland Central FL? I remember there were places recording heat indices around 115 F.
Yeah it was intense. The heat index reached 109F in Daytona Beach, when it was 94 with a dewpoint of 77.

Parents are having plant wars...are you kidding me? She cut that plant down? That *****, I liked that plant. OK, that it's. I'm cutting her favorite plant down to make it even. Disgusting behavior.
I was always puzzled by people that want to live in hot climates, but sit their ass down all the time in A/C comfort. Humid heat sucks. For me, it's the stickiness that I feel that makes me uncomfortable, not the heat itself. When I was in Spain and it was 36°C-38°C the week I was over there, I still felt good walking several miles everyday in that heat, but it was really dry. It was still hot, but I didn't feel sticky because the sweat evaporated off of me and I actually cooled down whenever I sat down for about 5-10 minutes. Here in the US, it's much harder to cool down naturally because the sweat just stays on you much longer, hence the sticky feeling.
A lot of Americans, Canadians, and Europeans dream of living in Florida. I only dream of living in California or Spain. The summer drying trend is God's blessing to me
Having to work on the Fourth of July should be a crime.
