If I didn't have a little boy to tote around, I'd be driving around with the windows down right now. The heat would probably be on, but I'd have that lovely brisk air rushing in the car. :D

It has to be below zero for me to put a hat on. I like my scarf, so it comes out at around 30. Gloves, probably 15. We enjoy weather like this up here. Winter is about 11 months long (not really, lol) and summer about 1. Although, the past couple of years have been decent. The weather today is well above normal.

yeah chilly day down here. Only in the 70s. I almost slept with my patio door open last night, but I am trying to fight off a cold.

Climate
Average January high/low temperatures: 26°F/11°F (-3°C/-12°C)
Average July high/low temperatures: 79°F/62°F (26°C/17°C)
Milwaukee's proximity to Lake Michigan causes a convection current to form mid-afternoon, resulting in the so-called lake effect, causing the temperatures to be warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer ("cooler by the lake" is practically boilerplate language for local meteorologists during the summer). Also, the relative humidity in the summer is far higher than that of comparable cities at the same latitude, meaning that it feels hotter than it really is.

Milwaukee's all-time record high temperature is 105°F (41°C) set on July 17, 1995. The coldest temperature ever experienced by the city was -26°F (-32°C) on both January 17, 1982 and February 4, 1996. The 1982 event, also known as Cold Sunday, featured temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) in some of the suburbs as little as 10 miles (16km) to the north of Milwaukee, although the city itself did not approach such cold temperatures.
Just to give you an idea of my life.

Yesterday we had a high of 44 in Detroit. I walked out to the mailbox in the sunshine, wearing just a sweater, and thought, "Damn! Spring is here!"

It's going to be 80+ this week in South Carolina.

Poor northerners and their 40 degree Springs.

Amen! I think you are about 10 degrees warmer than we are on average. I like spring and fall. I'd be really unhappy if it was 80 all the time.

Out here in Northern California it's been a chilly 50-55 most of the winter. Now it's inching its way up. We've made it to 60ish the last couple weeks but with rain. I don't know how I'll handle it being less than 70 for much longer!!! And our summers... man, it gets way too hot! I don't know how I've made it through almost 30 years of 85-90 degree weather with 10-20% humidity!!! It's unbearable!!! :smirk:

What the hell are you talking about Sickboy? Are you not in the Bay Area? Whine, whine, whine. About the only thing you got to bitch about in summer is the high smog content if you are down in the southbay.

85-90 degrees is fucking cold. Perfect barbeque weather. We go to the Bay Area just to experience such cool temps when we are having those 100+++ weeklong heatwaves in Sacratomato.

It's going to be in the 70's here tomorrow (North Carolina) and 84 by Sunday. I, however, won't be here to enjoy it.

Kradey, the Kradey kids and the little Trickster and I are all meeting up Friday and heading for sunny Florida!!!**

So if you hear of the local militia gathering or anything, you'll know... it's just us.

...for sunny Flroida!!!

So, are you going to be having a hard time sitting down or being able to reach around to wipe your ass? Oops. The having-a-hard-time-sitting-down kind of roids happen where the sun don't shine.

Thank you, smart ass!! Typing has never been my strong suit. I'll let Kradey fill you in on what THAT is when we get back!!

Whenever I rip someone with a sarcastic, nitpicking comment like that, it's meant in pure jest. If it wasn't taken that way, I apologize for the miscommunication.

No worries! It was taken that way. I really can't type and it has become quite the joke amongst my IM friends.

Jest away!!

Damn straight there Skippy! Sacramento is known as a "Two-Hour Town", cause to find anything fun, enlightening, or just interesting to do you have to drive two hours east to Reno or two hours west to San Francisco.

Yes, I did miss school that day. Me and Flyboy had gone down to Dukes Burgers in Aliso Beach for some grub and then made one of those "Oh, what the heck" trips down to Tijuana.


And living in Sack-town was just cause there were very few po-lice departments hiring evidence cops at the time I was looking, and you gotta go where the jobs are. Thats how I ended up in the suburbs of Sac. When I left that job I seriously thought about moving to Marin or Santa Cruz, but then the job at the Rocket Factory came along and I kinda got stuck here again.

....still recruiting me to move there, aren't ya Nat?

And for the record...none of y'all that live in Sunny Southern Wisconsin or Motown are going to get any kind of sympathy.

Someone can tell you the excitement and joy that 40 degrees and hella windy weather brought me when I was in Virginia. THAT was coatless weather.

Must be nice. When it actually does get hot around here, it's 80 or 90 with 80% and ^ humidity. So when you keep the windows open at night because it's hot, the sheets are soaked in the morning from the humidity. I am not an air-conditioning fan, which irritates my bf to high hell, so we spend a lot of nights in the summer laying on damp sheets. Yuck. 60ish, lol. That's the temperature my apartment is throughout winter. 65. Yeah, and I turned it up when we had the baby. I was looking into N. Cali weather when I was researching San Fran for our honeymoon. Looks like you get a lot of 60's and rain. I don't envy you.

That's why you need to stay away from that overrun tourist trap and come down to San Jose. 300 days of sunshine per year and average temps of 80-90 during the summer and 65-80 during the spring and fall.

San Hoser is a pretty good place to go. They have their own domestic airport, so you can avoid San Francisco Airport. In the greater San Jose area there are some really cool museums, a major amusement park, the Winchester House, and it is a relatively short drive to Santa Cruz on the coast.

The only problem with it is that Sickness lives there....

Yeah. To elaborate on the problem, there's a lot of noise pollution. Sorry, there's just no quiet way to deadlift 400 pounds.
