Anyone with winter weather prowess want to come join us?

Is there any place that can just be 65F in the day and 45F at night all year 'round? That would be so awesome!

It was only about 89F in NJ yesterday and I was miserable. I would so much rather it be 30 over 90, I just hate the heat. I am okay with mid 80's when I'm on the beach in swim trunks, but getting into a hot car in dress cloths is just miserable until the AC catches up.

Austin in Nov was awesome... I would kill myself in August I think...

We have had a phenomenal summer so far in western MI. Mid to High 70's for the most part (this week did reach 90), low 60's at night. Humidity hasn't been terrible and the bugs are almost non existent right now. It helps to have one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the world act as a buffer to the crazy weather the rest of the country gets.

I would much rather have a polar vortex than a month long heatwave.

I'd rather deal with sweating a little from June through September and have a no snow/very mild winter than have an 80 degree 3 month summer and have to dig my car out of snow and wear jackets until after Easter.

If you ask me...cold is much more of a pain in the ass than hot. Having to bundle up like mad just to walk the dog or get the mail is a pain.

Around here...yeah...you sweat from June until September but man...fall, winter and spring in Texas can be damn nice. Playing tennis in short sleeves in November and riding my motorcycle in shorts in March....try that in MI or MN at that time! LOL

Now that is actually HOT down here, hopefully this will have dire effects on the illegal aliens making their way up through the Mexican deserts to invade our nation.

Really? Think about the hassle of snow, ice, etc. You'd take that over a "heatwave"? (Aka Mid 90s and sub 70* dew points. Ooooo).

Perfect weather for me is 90* highs and 75* lows with a low dew point. Get rid of that sticky, muggy air and the heat feels great.

Heck yeah man. I love the snow. Don't mind shoveling / snowblowing at all. Driving is a pain only because I have to kick the jeep in 4HI to run over the people camping in my lane... I do try to get at least 30 days a year on the ski slopes as well.
I get my shorts and t-shirts out when it hits 50 degrees and sunny in April. Golfing with snow still on the course in not uncommon...

I do like the dry heat though. There are just so few places to enjoy it (that I would actually want to spend extended periods of time in.)
Spent 2 years in TN. Getting swamp crotch the second you walk outside? Ain't nobody got time for that.
