I hate the ******* snow.....

ive seen that before. great vid. I loved the snow when i had my mud truck... ever see a 8ft tall truck drifting around corners at 50 mph????

When you get hot, you sweat. When you sweat, you smell bad. When you smell bad, you should shower. Some of us are busy working or in school and can't shower everytime we sweat, going to and fro' in our A/C'd Cars and even buildings/schools.



When you get cold, you can warm up. You don't sweat, you don't need another shower. Instead you can take that which makes you cold and throw it at people.



Snow wins, Humidity loses.

We just had a summer ice storm - pea size hail.



That's what it does here between hurricanes.

In the cold you can warm up next to someone.

Snow is for drifting in slow motion.

i dunno, people in jersey at least drift pretty fast in snow...not on purpose, and normally in circles while moving straight, but still...



kevin.

Do you have Statoil in the states? I don't remember seeing one when I was over. They have this really stereotypical adverts with some kind of leprechaun character saying "fair play to ya!" lol.

Thinking as a homeowner, if the power goes out in the winter, I can use my gas logs to heat the house, bundle up with blankets and the wife. If the power goes out in the summer, I am truly screwed, because my generator can't run a heat pump, and 100 degrees with 90 percent humidity is hell on earth. It depends to some extent on where you live. If I was still in Jersey, I might rather take the heat, 'cause it don't get quite so hot up there. But here in VA, I'll take my chances with the cold, 'cause it don't get THAT cold.

The plural of index, I am impressed, not too many people know that.



And, snow loses every day of the week to the heat, cold weather sucks.

I thought it was just the maths one that was spelt like that? Not that it matters but I'm sure Indexes is a word. This is actually bugging me a bit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png



Anyhoo, I'd prefer to be too hot than too cool, but only because the warmer climate makes everyone happier here, and you can go outside and do stuff - I like to be pretty cool when I sleep though.

I am glad I live in Maryland. The summers are quite hot, the spring time is excellent, with showers 3x a week, fall is beautiful, and the winter time it's only cold in January-February.

Why cant it just be 75*F all year round?

******* weather. I love snow but I hate the cold. I love the summer but I hate the humidity, wtf. Is there no place that is 75* with a slight breeze all year round?!?!?

Exactly. We were talking about how hot it is and the question came up "Would you rather it be real cold or real hot out?" and I just was like "How about perfect?"



Fall and Spring here in NY circle's around 50-75 so its great. If summer is mild we have a lot of decent days, and same if winter's mild.



Not sure where it's 75 all the time, but since there's statistics out there, I'm sure you could find out. And Rowtareh- I doubt it could be any place in FL, it's obnoxiously humid in the summer.

Well someone needs to get on top of this so we can all move there.

Requrements:

1. 75* +/- 15 all year round

2. weekend drive from the ocean (within 6 or so hours)

3. weekend drive from the mountains (or someplace to snowboard)

4. Not in the middle of no where

5. Not California

6. No smog regulations

7. Not a slum (or anything like 80% of Indiana)

8. Not a desert

9. Nice roads (preferably many curvy and many long and straight)

Haha I like your requirements. Orange County (Upstate NY) Is pretty close. At least when it gets hot and you hate it, soon comes fall and winter, then when you hate winter, spring and summer are on their way...



I'm within 3 hours of the ocean, an hour of several mountains, plenty of twisty roads, within reason to NYC and huge venue's/shopping centers, it's not California, there's no emissions testing,...

Ok did a survey on findyourspot.com and then searched some statistics, here

Sounds like Oregon somewhat. Except for #4.



And you guys with your 110 heat index can stuff it. It was actually 120 here in Vegas three days in a row last week. One day, it rained all morning, then was 109 by 3pm. You guys have it easy. :P

I think somewhere in the south of France might just cut it.

If only I knew or cared to learn French. Now German on the other hand...
