-Yep, no one ever seems to talk about day 30/60/90 snow that has been compacted into ice, covered with dirt and exhaust, broken open huge potholes on the street, etc etc etc.
You say snow everyone thinks winter wonderland.
Damn that does look lovely for late June, I'm jealous.I drove down to the beach this afternoon to enjoy some lovely summer weather...
Hmm, didn't see that much snow listed when I looked it up. I thought that it was at an elevation of ~2000 ft, till I noticed that that was *meters* !! As you pointed out.Flagstaff IS nice however keep in mind @ 6900 ft above sea level you're in snow-country!
(approx 100 inches annually)
Thanks. It's grasses that kill me (and ragweed). Seem to be fine with Trees, but that's here in NH.If you have pollen allergies, plan your trip for the spring when everything is blooming. Cedar, mesquite, and palo verde pollen lay some people out flat. They don't bother me at all but make life pure hell for affected folks. It's better to find out if you're one of the affected people before moving here.

108°F and 8% humidity at the moment. We have some cloud cover so I don't think we'll hit the promised 114°F today.
108°F = 42°C
Waiting for 113°F so I can play that Midnight Oil song.
..yeah i mean, you try to make it alive through a single Boston winter, then you tell me.
It was about 55-57 degrees at 2pm.Damn that does look lovely for late June, I'm jealous.
Sounds amazing
living by the beach is like sitting next to a large fog cooler. it's nice, it rarely gets hot. does my bones in, i can stand a few days at a rental flat before i ache all over. qualities i miss about georgia in the summer were the tranquil quietness and at ease I'd feel each day after work and on weekends. the occasional neighbour over or us over to theirs or a block gathering. qualities i don't miss are the nasty liquid georgians call "sweet tea" or "iced tea" which is some bit of tea mixed with a half kilo of sugar. the bugs, the midnight heat and lack of wind. I'd never used them before and didn't know you could buy it as a normal civilian folk but my then wife one day went out and bought several different kinds of zappers and had me hang them of course outside our then home. I thought it was a stupid waste of money, cheap as chips now that I think about it but wages everywere were lower then. we spent the first night kept up from the constant sound of bugs dying a quick painless death with the occasional larger bug making a multi second buzzing sound. 2nd night we were laughing at the little bastards, 3rd night we fell asleep with ease.It's why we moved here almost 5 years ago. We'll get a few days around 80F every summer...and occasionally, 1-2 days over 90, but it always cools down nicely at night.
We don't have AC other than open windows and a couple of fans.
idk, are those the 5ft snow & snowplows & thermal gear kind of places? am not impressed. i got literally house-trapped by snow in canada, but that's nothing compared to sideways-flying black slush at -20C.pffft. that's weak. Boston is kinda mild. Check out the UP or Buffalo.
So, Boston replaces its entire population evey year?..yeah i mean, you try to make it alive through a single Boston winter, then you tell me.
it would explain their inability to pronounce consonants, vowels, the whole lotSo, Boston replaces its entire population evey year?

Looks like your grankids are having a lot of fun. How clean is that snow in the walls once you tunnel out? could you bring it in to chill down a cocktail or a glass of pop?
eh, every 4 years or so.So, Boston replaces its entire population evey year?
Excuse me, we are VERY GOOD at pronouncing vowels, you just ask any local to pronounce "water", that will show you.it would explain their inability to pronounce consonants, vowels, the whole lot

yes indeed, that's my experience as well, living in Chicago for many years. It's good for a day....then the sooty black snow and ice chunks just become terrorism.yeah see thats my point. it's not about how cold it gets, it's about how shit it is to live through it. same way that nobody complains about the heat when they are at the bahamas.
you post some kind of Winter Wonderland(tm) pictures, man, im talking get someone to throw a bucket of slushed turnpike black ice at yo'face then walk home kind-of-experience.
