It's now the time of year that I envy the DU'ers in the cold states.

[raccoon]

It's already 90+ degrees here.

:sigh: You can't have it both ways. Mild winters and hellacious summers, or mild summers and hellacious winters.

1. So right now you envy the 10 DUers from Alaska?

Because it's stinking hot here in Delaware. I'm sure the rest of the country isn't much better.

[raccoon]

2. Alaska, MN, I guess ND. nt

[Left Is Write]

12. It's not hot in Minnesota today, but believe me, it gets plenty hot there.

A 90-degree day with 90% humidity can be brutal.

I live in the Boise area now, the high desert area, where it's rarely humid but is often 100-plus in the middle of summer.

6. Uhhmmm. It's hot in Alaska, too!

I spoke with my sister yesterday, and it was in the mid 70's there over the weekend!

[LynneSin]

10. Perhaps for Alaska that's hot

I'd be happy with 70 degrees weather all the time.

[raccoon]

11. That's not hot in my book! nt

[TZ]

15. Your sister...

is Sarah Palin?! :hide:

[madinmaryland]

20. STFU, Snyder!

3. Central NH report

Careful what you wish for. Right now it's 50F and raining like a mofo. We do get hideously hot weather here during late July and through August with humidity to match. Doesn't last long, just seems that way. Maybe a month of beautiful autumn weather, then an eternity of winter followed by what is fondly known as Mud Season.

4. man, i dig the sun and heat of a FL spring, summer and fall. can't wait to get out on my bike!

:P

5. This is the perfect season in MI

The snow shovels are stacked in the back of the garage, and the mosquitos and black flies haven't come out in force yet.

:hi:

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I'll take mild winters and hellacious summers, although ours has been a milder than usual

summer, so far. I can stand heat better than I can cold. I think part of it is just the overall gloom that we usually have in cold weather. I tell people that I'd rather sweat than shiver.

[femmocrat]

8. PA isn't exactly a "cold" state, but we are having a lovely June so far.

Perfect weather, not too hot, and just enough rain that we don't have to water the gardens.

Northern PA has hellacious winters though.

[rurallib]

9. Iowa - been under 80 all spring so far

nights in the 50s - one of the nicer springs I can remember.
Exceot for those damned bugs. Vicious little bastards.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. I don't. Summers in Florida are fine by me.

A bit hot and humid but it keeps things green around here. I would much rather than than suffer through some bone chilling cold winter or horrible blizzard conditions.

[foxfeet]

14. 75 and sunny in Seattle today.

And our winters aren't all that hellacious by East Coast standards, unless you don't enjoy feeling like a waterlogged bat from November to March.

[surrealAmerican]

16. It's below 60 and drizzling here in Chicago.

It's been this way a lot this spring. It still feels like April, but then April felt a lot like February.

[DS1]

17. light rain and 58 here

I'm going to spend my lunch hour napping outside in the car


yes, my phone has an alarm function

[fizzgig]

18. it's a bit on the chilly side in northern colorado today

and our forecast for the rest of the week is the same every day: upper 60s or lower 70s with chance of thunderstorms.

the weather here is fairly temperate. sure, we usually get one bitter cold snap in the winter and few weeks of blazing heat, but it's pretty comfortable a lot of the time.

[PassingFair]

19. 66 here in the Great Lakes State!

Spring is my favorite season.

The crazy winters make me
thankful for the glorious
SPRING!!

[Swede]

21. It snowed in Calgary on the weekend.

We've been getting frost warnings at night. This is,I should add,very unusually cold for this time of year up here. Also,White Horse,which is way up there in the Yukon,was 29C degrees for days,so things are kinda screwy.

[Iggo]

22. SoCal. Cold and threatening to rain.

June Gloom.

[cemaphonic]

23. hey, Seattle has mild winters and mild summers

OTOH, we rarely see the sun between October and May.

Overall, not a bad climate for a city that's farther north than Fargo though.
