I would just like some balance to be honest.

Spring - Sunny, a light breeze, occasional rain storm
Summer - Hot, sunny
Autumn - Sunny, cool, bit of rain
Winter - Snow, ice

I'd be OK with that. Not asking for sun every single day.

I guess the trade off might be extreme weather or something. I'm glad we never have extreme weather. We are very lucky that we don't have to worry about that or about dangerous animals.

I understand that some people get depressed by that but I'm not one of them. What wears me down psychologically is when I'm hot and sweaty 24/7.

I remember when it used to be like that. You could actually plan your holidays here and know what the weather would be like. Kids these days, don't know they're born etc etc etc.

That definitely would not be a problem if you lived here.

Me too. As soon as I open the door I'm like **** this **** and then the mosquitoes attack. It takes like 5 seconds, no lie.

It all depends on what kind of sunny to me. I lived California—where it was sunny, dry, and mild every day—and loved it. But I also lived in Florida—where it was sunny and humid and buggy and the sun beat on you like a hammer—and I was miserable.

Weirdos. I'd rather put on a jacket than sweat.

What's winter in Florida like?

I was looking at weather for Phoenix, Arizona a while back when it was hot here and Deej said that signs were melting and planes couldn't take off. Was like 40 degrees every ****ing day. Amazing weather.
