Maybe I should, but I get totally miserable when it gets over 84F in the summer (which it usually does every day during the Visby medieval week in August).
Ah, well-- and you get humidity with that heat, too. Seriously, 85F is a normal day around here in the summer, but since there's no humidity to speak of, that temperature does seem to be a lot less, subjectively.
We get little to no rain whatsoever between May to September; most roofing work is done in August because there is, statistically speaking, no chance of rain dropping into an open house. There are no green hills to be found here after May...
So, even though it may be 79F in my hometown today with some clouds moving from left to right, the humidity is 16%-- which isn't enough to work up any kind of sweat at all. Our winters are considered weirdly wet if we get more than one incident of rain every 2 or so weeks.
well, i did experience it snowing in santa monica when i lived in LA. and as a swede i found it hilarious to see a that a considerable amount of the prime time TV-news that evening was spent on reporting from the snowfall.... ;)
That's because it only happens once per generation. I think the last time it snowed where I live was in the 1930s... and it melted as soon as it hit the ground!
Yes -- I remember when I lived outside London for a couple of years, and there was utter chaos because of, what, two, three inches of snow? Schools were closed, for gods' sake. People couldn't understand why I was so amused.
