I guess it all just shows, that ones idea about the weather is greatly influenced by what you are used to...When I lived in Chicago, I thought nothing of blizzards, sub zero temps, rampant humidity, and scorching heat...it was just normal for that part of the country...

Then I moved to North Carolina, and had to cope with extreme heat and humidity for most of the year....

I must admit when we moved to Washington State, I think I cried for three months...we moved here the end of Sept, just the beginning of the rainy and cloudy and grey skies weather that continues into spring...I could not get warm...kept threatening to go back, to North Carolina to warm up...

But I stuck it out, and am so glad I did...we have been in Western Wshington now, for going on to 19 years, and I have finally gotten used to the weather and I love it...

your post is interesting
I too took the horrendous weather of NYC for granted whole time I lived there
I was charmed to have no winter at all in tucson
but I found the summer heat unfathomable
it's like bein' in a pizza oven
in nyc it is screamin' headlines on all the tabloids when heat goes above 90
but in tucson we call it dropping down to the 90s, it is called relief from heat lol
