possible stupid question ...

If I could figgure a way to do it financially, I'd live in Alaska from May - October, then migrate to Hawaii from November through April.

As for the heat, It's hotter than hell here in Wis all summer. Upper 80s to mid 90s and HUMID, just like fla, though not as long. Normaly we go from a death freeze to stupid hot in mere days come springtime, then right back the other way come fall.

San Diego has a very nice year-round climate, but we all know the problem with that LOL

 

hey 379, I just moved out of WI. I lived in Albany, a small town 1/2 hour west of Janesville, near Monroe.

And I only THOUGHT I knew what humid was untill I moved to southeast TX.

If you stay outside more than 3 hours in the summer stuff starts growing on ya!

 

The "humidest" it can get is 100%, and as ya know we run 3/4s of that commonly.

I dont doubt ya on Texas being a nut scorcher. 100°F + 100 % = death LOL

Who'd you drive for down there in Albany?

 

I drove out of Madison for a co called Shared Medical Services. We hauled mobile medical scanners. MRI and PET/CT scanners. You probably seen them. white on top, grey on the bottom with a red and black stripe. we had about a 100 around WI, MN,IL and IA. I did that for 7 years before I moved here

 

These are not your usual snow storm or thunderstorms. Many of them may be cool to watch. But they aren't cool to drive in...or be stuck out in the open during.

Placing it in proper prospective. Imagine a severe thunderstorm during spring or summer. Raindrops the size of quarters, wind blowing it sideways.

Now drop the temps down to 33-34 degrees F.
Snow flakes that hit your windshield with a thud. Then splatter.

A dry snow is difficult at times...But slush balls hitting you at 50 mph?!?!

 

I'm not a hot-weather person either... and if I had my druthers, I'd live in southern Ontario, Canada. The biggest problem with cold weather is the fuel oil bills. We burned coal here for pretty many years, but it's rough when it has to be left unattended for 10 hours or more during the day (while at work)... and twice we had electrical fires due to coal dust contamination in electronic units.

But if I had to move someplace? I'd go more north and central.

 

Yo VARGA71
I grew up outside of Doylestown, PA lived on RT 413 just north of Cold Spring Cremery Rd. Last time I was in that area, about 15 years ago, all the places I used to ride my horse and hunt were now housing developments. Just made me sick. Left in 67 and aint goin back. Its just fine here in Kansas (KC area)

 

Hey, I drove a 40 foot Prevost Bus with a CT Scanner in it for about a year back in the early 80's, when "CAT" Scan equipment was over a million bucks and only a handful of hospitals had them. I drove Miss, Texas, Louisiana and Alabama to several hospitals and assisted the Techs with Scans and film development.

Anyway didn't mean to get off of the thread subject. I've lived in Louisiana all of my life, but travel extensively across the US. Lived in NYC for almost 2 years. All together not too bad, but very expensive, and the "attitude" is way different. I think one of my favorite parts of the country is South Central Oklahoma around Ardmore, Madill and Tishamingo. I've been there many times and would go there yearly for 2 weeks of training over several years. It just appealed to me there. Another place I liked was Roswell, New Mexico. I played music there a few times and never got abducted by aliens, except once. But that's another story. I like that area of the country in New Mexico and Arizona.

 

I'm not a cold weather person, hence my move from Michigan to Alabama. However, if I was, I'd head for the area around Soap Lake, Washington--the most spectacular landscape I've ever seen when I drove OTR.

I had to pick up a load of... uh... for lack of a better word--Glitter Twigs. Basically, tumbleweeds that have been spray painted white and then have glitter tossed at them. They make 'em on the Indian reserve there and then sell 'em at craft stores. I was simply in awe at the roadside scenery once I left I-90 and headed up to Soap Lake. Some of the roads were kinda scary to drive though--big drop offs and no guardrails!

Anyhow, it was my first time in the state of Washington and I have to say, it's probably one of the most scenic places in the lower 48.

 

I'v always found Utah to be about as beautiful as it gets. Plus I'm a jeep nut and there is great offroading there. Now if it wern't fr all those darn mormons!!
