Anybody here a "reverse snowbird"???
That is, living in a place in the summer that's much hotter and muggier on average than the place you live in in the winter, while your winter place is colder and snowier than your summer place.

I'm a reverse snowbird myself. Three months out of the year (mid May to mid August) I live in Minneapolis, and during the school year, I live in Fargo, ND. The average July high in Minneapolis is 85 degrees, In Fargo it's 82. It's a lot muggier and uncomfortable in Mpls in the summer. It's usually dry and comfortable in the summer in Fargo. And in the winter, it's always 10 degrees colder up here. The January average high is 16 degrees, while it's 24 in Minneapolis. The wind chill and snow is a lot worse here, too.

So have any of you here (probably college students) found themselves in a situation where they live in reverse snowbird circumstances???

1. i hate snow
does that count?

generally, I'd rather things be about 95F than see one more damn flake of snow.

"snow, snow, bloody snow! i hate the sight of it!!"

mad props for guessing the quote source

2. We've got the "Never Summer" folks...
Mostly Australian ski instructors who teach here in the winter and there in the "summer". Boy do they log the skiing time. :)
