A winter storm just hit my area. Its currently -14(F) right now with a windchill of -55(F). Once I get home I'll post a picture of all the beautiful snow.
Coming from someone like me who moved from the Boston area to the San Fransisco area (and as I understand it you live near San Rafael, I think you said that in a post on the Rigs of Rods forum or something), you'll want to go back pretty quickly. The Boston area can get four to seven feet of snow in the winter and it is truly hell to shovel. By the way, here in SF we got ~5.59 inches. I live in the hills of a suburb and it's a little bit more rainy (a very little bit) but I guess a little is a lot in this case.
I'd rather live in a place with actual weather than a place that varies by 10 degrees max year-round and is constantly sunny. I've been to New York twice, Chicago once, and Boston as well. Those 4 trips were in 4 different seasons, and I had zero complaints about the weather. Maybe if you're old and retired and enjoy being bored as hell you'd enjoy California drought climate, but not me. And right now we're in the worst drought in California history, like I said before. Everything's yellow and dead and awful, and I swear I haven't seen a cloud since last month.
move next door to me. We have burnouts/donuts (aka whippin shitties), beer, it's cold as shit right now, this summer it'll be 90 degrees and humid as fuck. It's great I don't have a/c in my room it got over 100 a lot when i had my pentium d
Huh. I guess it is markedly warmer where you are, here where I live it's incredibly overcast and we have rain forecasted for saturday (!!). It's also gotten down into the 20s here, so we have something closer to seasons I guess. Still, Boston definitely has an appeal, I just got tired of it after a few years.
The perfect place to live with that weather is like south Georgia and North Florida (I live in Florida right now and it is supposed to go up to like the high 50's here in Jacksonville (and no I hate the Jags they suck hahaha )but anyway you should come live over here (its really nice)
NYC climate is perfect for me - cold enough to snow, hot summers but not "the south" hot, and lots and lots of rain year-round Plus I love New York and the east coast in general, so that helps.
Yea the east coast is perfect all the way down to like South Carolina then it just gets really hot and muggy but at the same time spring in Florida is amazing and summer is just like uuuughhh it feels like 150 degrees outside but the forecast says 80
85 and humid is no problem as long as it's cloudy. I walked 10 miles in those conditions without breaking a sweat, but as soon as the sun came out I had to stop because it was so uncomfortable.
What about climates such as Maine? It stays pretty cloudy, but at many times moderately hot and humid there. I guess if you want to live in NYC, then there's really no place like it in terms of what's there, but Maine is similar in weather.
I'd be happy anywhere in the east coast, really, as long as it's within driving range of NYC. I have relatives in southwestern Massachusetts and I love the climate there.
