I live in Houston, Heatstroke Texas.

[texanwitch]

This is why we have ac here.

I hate humid weather.

Summer is here, damn I miss the cold weather we had.

[MiddleFingerMom]

1. And next February...

.
...you will curse yourself for the, um... intemperate fool
that you are for wishing for the cold. And you will wish
for the blazing heat of summer. And then when summer
is at full blast, you will curse yourself for the, um... you
know... intemperate fool that you are for wishing for the
heat. And you will wish for the cold.
.
Etc.
.
Etc.
.
Etc.
.
Ad infinitum.
.
:rofl:
.
You should probably move to somewhere like San Diego.
.

[texanwitch]

2. NO, I WANT COLD WEATHER, NOW.

I need to live where it stays between 40 and 60, all year long.

:rofl:

[MiddleFingerMom]

4. I live in Tucson...

.
...but 108 degrees ain't bad when the humidity is 8%.
.
I can't STAND humidity, either. Used to sit SWEATING
in 98 degree 98% humidity weather in the Philly area
and want to gently tell MiddleFingerMomMom to STFU
for complaining about how beastly the humidity was
in Tucson (sometimes as high as 40%!!!!!!)
.
And I would also probably be happiest in a place where
it stayed 40-60 degrees all year long, too. Shirtsleeve
weather for me.
.
.
Occasionally, I really MISS harsh winters, though (grew
up in Connecticut and Michigan).
.

[texanwitch]

8. I want to outaw humidity.

I don't go out during the day if I can help it.

[Arugula Latte]

14. Try the Northwest.

We have many, many days of the year between 40 and 60, and then when it's hot it's DRY! :woohoo:

[texanwitch]

15. Hell has nothing over Houston in the summer.

With the Gulf of Mexico becoming the Oil Of Mexico I may be moving.

[AllenVanAllen]

27. August is the time of when the currents will change

and bring the oil this way. If the "leak" continues to flow until Dec. it's gonna' be bad. We were going to move away from Texas anyway but this may make it sooner than later.

[texanwitch]

28. I have been thinking hard about moving now.

I can't live close to a Oil of Mexico.

It was hard after Ike, but the beach was still there.

[AllenVanAllen]

29. Where would you move to?

I'm going to New Mexico.

[RoyGBiv]

18. Doubt it ...

Cold weather in Houston isn't cold.

The winter months are quite pleasant actually save a few blustery days here and there. Hell, even the day it snowed there last year was temperate by the standards of anywhere else in the country where it actually snows. I was out in it walking around in just a jacket.

[texanwitch]

19. This winter we had the big freeze.

I lost a lot of plants.

[RoyGBiv]

20. The palms trees seemed confused ...

It was a little colder than normal and bad for the plants. For me it just my electricity bill was really small for a couple months.

Got up to near 100 in OKC today ... nowhere *near* as hot as 90 feels in Houston.

[texanwitch]

24. I get any work done early in the morning and then sleep the during the day.

The late afternoon and nights are OK.

From 12 noon to 6 pm is really hot.

[Captain Hilts]

3. My first trip to Houston - mid June - it was nearly 100 degrees and EXTREMELY humid.

The car I was driving had no air conditioning and I drove through Pasadena and went through the battleship TEXAS.

[texanwitch]

7. The battleship is a great tour.

It is the only pre WWI battleship left still afloat.

The ship has a great battle history during WWII,

[Captain Hilts]

12. That and OLYMPIA in Philly, which is having financial problems. nt

[Skittles]

5. LOL....TW

Friday I flew from Dallas to Midland/Odessa - on the plane I sat between a couple of college students from California and they kept going on about the staggering humidity - I said, honestly, for Dallas that was nothing - they said no, before the plane went to Dallas it was in HOUSTON........"say no more, say no more" I said :rofl:

[texanwitch]

6. And summer has just started, it will get worse.

The humidity stucks the life out of you.

[proteus_lives]

9. I used to live near Houston. I don't miss the weather.

[sakabatou]

10. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I live in the Bay Area, CA

[Tobin S.]

11. I have a condo for sale in the Dayton, Ohio area, texanwitch

It usually doesn't get much hotter than 90 here in the summer. Humidity can get high but usually not nearly as bad as Houston. However the winters here might make you wish you lived in Houston.

I'll trade with you. I drive a truck for a living and I'll take heat over cold any day.

[Taverner]

13. It's been strangely humid in California lately

California - especially the bay area, is not a real humid place

[seabeyond]

16. i am back. in 100's here. i HATE it. told myself this morning, ONLY 3 more months. WTF.

i hate it too. hate it hate it hate it.

i was born in az, grew up in calif, always hot. and STILL i HATE it.

i cant wait for fall. winter is the best. i never complain in the winter

yours is worse. the humidity. i would diiiiiiie. lol

[texanwitch]

17. You kind of get used to it.

I don't like the summer and wish it was over already.

A good straw hat and lots of water helps.

[Skittles]

21. I am with you, tw

even in Dallas the humidity does, well, witchy things to my hair :o

[texanwitch]

22. My hair has a mind of it own in the summer.

I just keep it short.

[PassingFair]

23. My best friend moved to Houston....

Visited her in July last year.


It. Was. Way. Too. Hot. For. Me. There.



Weather was great in April, though!

[texanwitch]

25. The spring was nice.

We did have a storm blow in the other night and it was cooler for a few days.

[AllenVanAllen]

26. I just checked an old Houston weather almanac

and we should have lows in the 60's and highs in the upper 80's. The temps we're having now are average August temps.
Looks like we'll be living on the sun again this summer.

[Bucky]

30. I was outside yesterday. It wasn't too hot for me.

But then the sun rose and it all went to hell.

Last summer in Houston my airconditioner broke for about a week. It sucked.

[datasuspect]

31. i freakiin love houston

a true international city. you can go from mexico to south asia all in the same day.

[txwhitedove]

32. Yes it is, and we in Houston appreciate your kind words.

There are many people and cultures here in Houston. Lots of festivals for art, food, international celebrations, and it's always margarita time.

:hi:

[datasuspect]

33. 10 roger on the margaritas

that's what i always liked about working in houston.

shit got done, but people weren't always giving themselves and other strokes about EVERYTHING.

that, and compulsory HAPPY HOUR! all over the place.

yeah, i miss houston sometimes . . . from pasadena to conroe to katy to baytown. there is no place else like it.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. I pity you.

I once lived there for seven years myself. I would NEVER live there again. I feel too hot when it gets to 72 here.
