1. San Antonio weather...
gets up to 105ish in the summer with 60-80% humidity.
F-ing sucks!
But it is still my hometown and will always be remembered fondly.

2. It's rarely 10 degrees in Chicago.
But it's very often 90 in Atlanta, 105 in El Paso and raining in Seattle...

We get a bum rap re: the weather in Chicago. There are more genuinely pleasant days in the Chicago than almost anyplace in the country, except for California.

5. I was there one day last winter...
The high temp was about 30, but it was sunny and dry and didn't feel too bad.

I understand it can be brutal at times, though.

6. Any temperatures above
85 degrees or so, regardless of humidity.

February in Minnesota, any year that the Winter Carnival in St Paul isn't in danger of thawing out, is good weather.

8. 85?
As a native Californian, I don't even start to get warm until 99 or so. 85 is a cool spring day! :)

10. Ah, yes.
There's something so cozy about warm clothes on cold days.

But when you're hot... well, you can only take off so many layers of clothing.

18. Exactly!
As my husband once put it, when we lived in Phoenix, Arizona, the only way you can dress for the heat is to wear an air-conditioned car.

11. never, ever complain about the rain
don't piss off the Chacs. Floods come & go. Droughts go on forever.
Humidity is good for you. It is life. Uncomfortable, but so is life sometimes.

13. Give me hot and humid over cold and dry any day!
Born and raised in Houston, and now I live in Austin. I can really feel the lack of humidity here. Dry skin, frizzy hair-yuck! Now, don't get me wrong, it's probably about 60% humidity today, but compared with 80% (at least) in Houston year round....no contest.

15. Other: 20 degrees and cold and snowy like the winters
here in New England. I hate snow. I would have it be 100 and hot over snow any day. That's just me though.

16. How about some good ol'
Midwest 90+ degree and 90+% humidity summers and 10 degree snowy winters? x(

(I lived in Cincinnati for 10 or so years, we had the worst of both worlds weather-wise.)
