We get about the same rain as Seattle (where I used to live) but it comes in deluges. It’s not nearly as rainy. And we don’t have to water our lawns here, while they do in Seattle. It gets cold for about a month. But for about a month in the summer it gets so hot and humid that if it were not for air conditioning I probably would not have moved here.

Just one month? Wow. We go from freezing cold winter to blistering hot summer in about two weeks. Depending on the year, it can start as early as may, and not cool down till October.

Yeah, Air conditioning is an absolute necessity.

It gets colder here than in seattle but for a shorter period of time. Our frost ground depth is not as deep and our growing season is much longer. This year we didn’t know what to do with all our tomatoes and they just kept coming.
