weather

I don't know what it is like where you all live, but we have been having some crappy weather. Last Saturday went golfing and only got in 7 holes before it rained. This weekend does not look any better. I may as well work:ack2:

We had a spell of rain every day last weekend here below Tallahassee, but this past week was fairly dry. Lots of thunder rumbling around me nearly every day. My stream is looking pretty low, so not much water draining into it from up to the north west where the drainage area is that feeds it. Saw a cottonmouth sitting on the bank a week or so ago. They will do that when the water levels get low and the fish get concentrated into the smaller areas of water.

At least we aren't being bashed by hurricanes!! :ack2: (knock on wood...)

COuple of days here. Short heavy bursts then it's over...

I don't mind the rain, except having to drive in it. I'm home most of the time during the day, so as far as I'm concerned, rain, rain, rain. I just can't stand the frickin' heat and humidity. I know I'm in the wrong state. Believe me, I'm working on getting the hell out of it. Probably won't be for a couple of years though.

Honestly, from what I have seen of the weather here in north Florida, the best way I can describe it is Drought conditions with widely scattered flooding.

Madn3ss,

Make sure you do your research on your quest to get away from heat and humidity. And you can eliminate the Mid-Atlantic region. It was so damn hot and humid yesterday, that I quit playing golf after nine holes. I took plenty of water with me to replenish my fluids and still got light headed bending over to pick my ball out of the cup. It has been mid 90's with high humidity here in Maryland for weeks. Wednesday it is supposed to be above 100 degrees and that is not the first time this will happen this summer!

I am driving down to my house in Ft. Myers at the end of this coming week and I am looking forward to just getting away from this intense heat in Maryland for a few days. Now how sick is that???

Good luck on your search, but I would stay away from coastal states where large masses of water can drive the humidity as high as the temperature. Just my opinion.

Thanks, We pretty much have it set down between Knoxville and Chattanooga and all points between. In Knoxville, we'll have 4 seasons. The average high temp during the summer is 77*, average low temp in winter is 29*. Obviously I understand that is just the average and will likely have a few spells in both directions. They average less than 10 inches of snow a year. No state income tax. Cost of living index is 87.5 with the average U.S. at 100. Knoxville is the center of the east coast.

Heck, I have a shipment going out to Utah this week and the temps are getting above 100 there!

As for moving, heck I moved out of Maryland back in '91 and there is just no way in hell you will EVER get me to move back to a place that gets any snow. Yeah it gets hot in the summer here, but in the winter months I can still do just about anything I want outside without my earlobes beginning to freeze. When I live in Maryland, basically November thru March were out of the picture for enjoying ANY activities outside. Yeah, you might get a spell where the temps would get into the 70s for a few days, but that was rare and not to be counted on if you had a particular date in mind.

Honestly if there was a perfect place to live, EVERYONE would already be there.

Hey, the snowbirds got this thing figured out. I went to Waynesville/Cherokee, NC ten years ago. Didn't mind winter until about three years ago, then I got my Z and coming back to FL started looking real good. If I could do so, I would be in Virginia or North Carolina about six months a year and down here the rest of the time..I'm back and lov'in it despite the heat, plus most all my immediate family is here on the Gulf Coast...........Tom
