It's the same here. Without the sunshine lol

Bang on! When we visited my aunt's house for three month it seemed like 3-4 was storm time everyday!

We have been thinking of moving to Florida. Better wages, and cheaper living. Also...warm scuba diving! Good lord it gets cold out here on the pacific coast!
Weather here is always moody. It's only slightly humid where i am, but it will be sunny one minute, rain the next, and the next day the Santa Ana winds are blowing (from the desert) and it practically melts you.

Ha and i always heard people liked coastal living for the weather. I hate it!! lol I miss my seasons!

We have four seasons here - cold and rainy, windy and rainy, warm and rainy and finally cold windy and rainy

We have four seasons, spring, summer, fall, winter. BUT those seasons are very bi polar.
It snowed buckets on Halloween then it didn't snow properly until after Christmas!

Florida is great in all, weather is great but it also draws all the old people. It rains everyday from may thru September. Then winter is mild and barely rains. No matter where you live in Florida your never more than 2 hours from a beach . Yeah the cost of living is low but so is the pay. I am a native and have been through 7 hurricanes, 3 tornadoes, 1 earthquake ( yes in Florida). 1 snow storm ( yea in Florida ). I love Florida but I hate it too.

I'm in Miami and we are mostly young people there Miami beach especially. Personally I love the weather. Hot, sunny, rainy, and humid. I've been in FL for 11 years now and had way more than 7 hurricanes...not all big like Hurricane Andrew, but lots of Cat 1-3 ones. And then there's tropical snow storms, my personal favorite lol. I love Florida and I'd only consider living elsewhere if it was similar.... maybe California or something like that. Hmm..now that I think about it...I really liked Arizona's hot & dry weather too.

I love the heat and humity, but I live by one of the biggest Eco killers in Florida "the villages".they destroy the natural ecosystems to make a fake one that looks fake but the old people love it. I loved Florida 10 years ago when our state was not compared to have the same population as new York state. The last time I was in Miami was after Andrew. I only wish that the villages retirement community was destroyed by the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons . But since we are in a la nina pattern we are going to have another active hurricane season

Wow, that would be awesome to see, I live in South California, but I've never seen any newts.

California only has good weather during fall and spring. The winters are freezing during the night, always cloudy and gloomy, and rains go off and on. The summer is nothing but extreme heat, discomfort, insect bites, and not a single drop of rain.
