Traffic is less dense as are the store/shoppers but maybe the latter is due to when we go. During the busy season, we try to stagger our shopping to less busy times of day PLUS take less traveled roads if possible to get to our destinations.
One thing we've noticed with weather---the weather in the states we one lived (middle of the country) are hotter/muggier than here AND they're flooding from the rains, where it never used to do that in past years of my memory. We joke with friends and family when we visit---that we'll go home to where it's "cooler".
