Then again, I run in 110F heat. Craziness on the opposite side.

I used to do that when younger: summer cross country practice was often 15 miles in 105+ heat. Luckily the CA San Joaquin valley isn't a super-high humidity locale.

Heat is tough but humidity is the killer. Summer here in NE could be 85 but the humidity makes it unbearable.
 
Winter time my butt.

It has been over 100 degree down here for so many days, we are losing count and our mind plus our wallets (for the high electric bills). Plus we are in big time drought right now, over 1 ft short of rain just for this year.

Seems summer went by so fast, but it always does. Noticed a bunch of leaves on the ground today outside of work. The weather has been declining too. Though I'm sure we still have some hot days ahead of us.

So with that said, there are 136 days until Christmas!

This coming from a Canadian!

Here in the central of Florida it will continue to hit over 90 until mid-October and then the FRIGID winter hits ... where you can sunbathe in perfect comfort in mid-February.

It sometimes really does suck having only 2 seasons (hot and hotter).
 
It's 97 here today...another day in the mid-90's...

I'm getting fucking tired of electrical bills in the $250-$300 range...

But, FUCK SNOW! I had my fill of that shit growing up. It's nice being a 2 hour drive from it if I should suffer enough brain damage to want to see it...but not have to deal with it on a daily basis.

I didn't mind driving in snow as long as there were no other cars/trucks on the road...but so many fucking people just don't understand how to drive in the stuff...and quickly forget over the summer what they MIGHT have learned during the previous winter.

I had a blast going through this:

Winter does suck (late winter like Dec 30th thru Feb 28th esp), however prior to winter is FALL! Which is THE BEST SEASON! Woot!

Fall:
Awesome weather
Great hiking / scenery / trees changing colors
Sleep with Windows open, utility bills go way down
Oktoberfest!
Great Walleye fishing
NFL
CFB
Important Baseball pennant races

F yeah!
 
107 today, heat index of 113 for me.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Want cooler weather. Sadly, for Texas fall comes in a randomly placed 2-week period immediately followed by several months of grey 30-50 degree weather complete with face-removing wind gusts and all the bare destroyed-looking beauty of immediate post-nuke Hiroshima.
 
In about a month and a half I'll have to scrape the ice off my car everyday... and in two and a half I'll be starting it to idle everyday so I don't freeze my ass off.. fuck I hate winter.

Why live in Canada if you hate the cold so much?

This man speaks the truth. Fall > all seasons, for these exact reasons.

That being said, I don't mind the cold at all (I prefer it to heat) but I could do without the snow.
 
I am so ready for winter and some snow to play in !!!

Fuck this oven like heat and rain forest dewpoints,hell at one time last month the dewpoint was 81 which was higher than any other place on earth that day....😵

Light jacket + long pants + 75 degrees = does not compute

I wear shorts and t-shirts year round and shovel snow in flip flops all the time. When we visit friends in CA we laugh at them for wearing big ol' snow parkas when it's 65 degrees out.

Hell 75 degrees is still air conditioner weather.

This. Anything over 75 is angering and depressing. Gimmie 45-65.
