Definitely somewhere I'll consider retiring to if I can somehow afford it. I'm the kind of guy that took up steelhead fishing in part because now I look forward to the fall and spring rains. Dreary days push steelhead in! I've always thought that too living in New England my whole life, but gotta tell ya, the last two winters here where it never got below 40 was pretty nice! I'd be totally fine with winter cold and snow if it ended the day after the Super Bowl. After that, it's just two months of misery in most of the country.

I get nothing except soaking wet taking the dogs for a run. Summer is the freaking worst! Mae could really use some rain here. It’s tough to keep the grass green at this point.

But there's a few problems: 1) lots of smug !@#$s. 2) insane housing prices 3) high taxes 4)crazy political climate 5)wildfires 6)earthquakes 7) traffic Other than that, count me in!

Housing prices aren't nearly what they are in California, not even close. and the people here aren't smug, just mainly stupid. Well, in south jersey anyway. 1

It's why people like the Donner Party did what they did. Pack up and leave. Just be thankful that you didn't have to walk to California. And be doubly thankful you didn't meet a wall of snow @ Emigrant Gap and have to make hard choices about eating your neighbor or not. Betcha you flew to Cal and played a DVD for the wife & Kidlets... ? I am such a stick in the mud... KillJoy ...Looking @ you Shady...?

I'm stuck in the middle of the building under an AC vent that I would swear is putting out 50 degree air. So I freeze all day while sitting under artificial light. When I get home and hear about how hot the day was, I'm caught completely off guard because I only got outside for about 5 minutes of that weather. Being trapped in an office environment that is freezing cold like that is kind of my idea of being stuck in hell. It's so common, too! Would be nice if people could figure out how to evenly heat/cool an office space.

Well yeah, but it starting snowing really hard as we were leaving Tahoe in February. Had to pull over for extra windshield fluid to make it all the way back. Skiing was awesome though. 1

I have to leave a fleece jacket on my desk chair each day even though it's currently 90 degrees outside. I almost need to leave some gloves here too. And I'm a person who almost never gets cold. At the same time, my boss's office is about 20 feet away and she's always saying it's way too hot in there. Maybe they'll finally get it right when we move to a new building later this year.

Got chains @ Sacramento AutoZone... ...I don't know what the big deal was. Pioneers, emigrants were such babies... They didn't have "snow mode" on their wagons... Pineapple Expresses WAY overrated! ?
plenzmd1 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 woohoo..summer is SO awesome. so glad i will not be outside for another 24 hours!!!!!i We all know going outside is overrated anyway!!!
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Man it’s crazy hot in Rochester 95-100 degrees today. Glad I’m by the pool. It maybe cold but damn it’s nice.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 91°, Feels like 105°... 4 miles from Lake. Not helping... Breeze is outta the south, off shore. Only relief would be right on Lake. Probably drop 10° if that wind was outta the north...Taint happening! Storms start tomorrow.
/dev/null Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 If it's too hot out, just take a dip in hot tub and enjoy a margarita. http://time.com/5329577/hot-tub-bear/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=time.com&utm_campaign=ideal-media-internal-recirculation&utm_term=68888&utm_content=2260860
