Johnny Cat, you want a variety of weather? Move here to Winnipeg Manitoba. Hot summers freezing cold winters, we live in a land of extremes. I agree with Opal, winter is meant to have snow and ice, without it, it’s just wrong.
Well, I am TENTATIVELY with Opal. I hate the cold, the wind, the slush in my boots.
But, on the other hand, my town looked like a Currier & Ives print when I woke up this morning: houses, trees, everything blanketed in a new 2" snowfall. Quiet, sun just coming up, barely any footprints yet.
Still, I gotta admit, a plane to Barbados sounds good about now . . .
I can’t wait to get away from all this sun and heat and see some snow (for the very first time)! I leave for Utah on the 11th.
Hey Michelle, where are you going in Utah?
::sigh:: I miss snow, and weather that changes, and outerwear. It’s hard to feel cozy and snug inside on a clear 75 degree day.
Well, today, it’s only 65 degrees or so, and the Sun never showed. They’re forecasting occaisional showers the next five days or so, depending on which TV weatherperson you watch.
But it never, EVER freezes here. HAH!

Winnipeg? Sounds like a raffle for pirates! 
I like Canada, but since one of my hobbies is shooting I don’t think I’d be welcome there.

I’m only your wildest fear, from the corners of your darkest thoughts.
As if it GOT that cold here! I live in Northern California, which actually does see a distinct temperature change from winter to summer, but the coldest it ever gets here is maybe maybe maybe 35 or so at night. When I was twelve or so it froze every night for several weeks straight and that was a big deal. Except for the day before yesterday, which was unseasonably sunny, the last couple months here have been cloudy, rainy, and the temperature has been hovering in the 50s and low 60s during the day. However, some people seem to think that all of California is a sort of eternal Baywatch episode, but while it may not be snowing, we are having some nice gray winter weather. I like it. But I also like it in October when people in Minnesota and Wisconsin start complaining about the cold and the Northern California summer really starts going strong.
I would like some snow, though. I think I will go to grad school in a snowy place. Any recommendations? (Someone, please tell me where to go to grad school! I’m too indecisive!)

I like it to stay 70 for day time highest temperature. I keep the house at sixty maximum in the winter, and then I wear shorts and a t-shirt.
As for cold in California, why go to the northern part, just go up into the mountains.
John Rush,
Okay, that’s one thing that’s good about California. When there’s an earthquake you can go out and watch the water slosh around in the pool (if the neighbours don’t see your lantern and assume you brought it out for them, in which case you grab a hot hower before they decide to turn off the gas; then go for a drive in the dark and go away from the part of the freeway that fell down).
Well I live in South Florida and forget 20 below, it doesn’t even get to 20 above here! And what was that about Miami at 0 degrees?!? Not bloody likely!
I’d have to say that besides maybe Hawaii, Florida has the least variation in temperature of all 50 states. So <neener neener> to all you Californicators!
That is…
