I know it's only technically only a few days away, but I'm not feeling it.
Temperatures above 45 degrees and sunshine that lasts more than 9 hours... I'm ready for it.
No more having to pay for pellets for heat and cooking outdoors on the grill... I'm ready for it.
I always liked living in New England, but as I get older, all I can think of is moving to Vegas.

(63,221 posts)I don't even want to leave my apartment for anything. The forecast is showing another miserable week here in Boston. I don't know how much longer I can take it. The problem is that we only seem to get a few weeks of nice spring weather and then it goes into a blistering hot and humid summer. I would love it if it would just stay in the 50's and 60's for a few months. Those are my preferred temps.

Then of course I have a hot flash and have to strip, and then put it all back on again.
Any chance I get to more to more temperate weather, I'm taking it.

(31,979 posts)And, I'm thinking, it won't be long before I'm complaining about the heat and humidity. Ohio generally has a 3-day-long spring and then we go directly to insufferable hot humid weather.
Hot flashes in summer time are the PITS!
