<p>Some of you love, love, love summer, but enough already! I want COLD weather!!! *Maybe I should have said this on the “Say It Here” thread.</p>
<p>Mamaof1, you need to move to Seattle. :)</p>
<p>Mamaof1, I’m right there with you. I cannot wait for fall and promise to not complain about getting cold next February. Enough with the 95 - 102 days and high humidity! Our electric bill was horrific this month, but when the lows are in the upper 70s most nights the house just never cools down.</p>
<p>Southeastern US? </p>
<p>So cold for you is, what, 50 degrees in the winter? ;)</p>
<p>I was born in a N.Y. city blizzard! I was born cold! lol</p>
<p>We broke the low 30’s this past winter here in the southeast. :)</p>
<p>We had over 80 inches of snow last year. I don’t care how hot the summer gets, I <em>do not</em> want a repeat of that.</p>
<p>What? We’re still waiting for summer to arrive here. We were lucky to have a couple of warm days.</p>
<p>We’ve had 52 days over 100 degrees this summer in Dallas (all but one consecutive) and 39 days where the low was 80 or above (the air conditioner gets no rest even in the middle of the night).</p>
<p>I’m so sick of the heat I could scream. I understand how people get seasonal affective disorder in the winter. I feel a similar melancholy when I look at the extended forecast and it shows 10 straight days with a big orange sun and temps in the 104-108 range. :(</p>
<p>I’m with Notrichenough - while I too have had enough of air conditioned days, I will take that ANYDAY over snowy winters. Last winter is still too fresh in my mind…</p>
<p>It was in the low 60s last night here. Daytime temps are in the high 70s to low 80s. Very nice pre-fall weather. My town was again selected in the top 100 places to live by Money Magazine. We’re slipping a little as we were in the top 50 previously.</p>
<p>That is why the SF Bay area is so great. The high is 80, but when evening fog comes it drops to 60… right now at 7am, 58…</p>
<p>Mamaof1, that’s why I moved from Austin to Maine 25 years ago! I couldn’t take the heat. We’re on the coast, so we don’t get the bitter cold that they do farther inland. DH is from Wisconsin, and he said it’s noticeably warmer here during the winter. At 10:30 am, it is 70 degrees and there is not a cloud in the sky. :)</p>
<p>Oh, I’m a runner, and to me, it’s much easier to run when it’s 10 degrees than when it’s 80!</p>
<p>I’m so ready for Fall! I don’t think I can keep my sanity for much longer if we don’t get at least A) a drop of rain and B) one day at least in the low 90s.</p>
<p>80s are not bad for running if it isn’t too humid.</p>
<p>I don’t feel that we get bitter cold (we’re about 30 miles inland) but some might consider what we get bitter cold. I think of bitter cold between 0 and 10. I include between 10 and 20 if it is very windy but sometimes we get a couple of weeks of that and then it feels normal.</p>
<p>BTW, one of the guys that I work with has two houses - NH and Austin. He’s in NH in the summer and Austin in the Winter.</p>
<p>BunsenBurner, have you been noticing all of the out-of-state plates lately? I’ve been seeing a lot from the Northeast. There must be a lot of people wanting to vacation away from heat and humidity.</p>
<p>BCEagle, I know I have a lower tolerance for heat than a lot of runners! That’s probably why I never liked running as a kid.</p>
<p>Eventually, I would like to do what your co-worker does, go back and forth! Portland and Austin are both wonderful places to live.</p>
