I agree with you, I miss my Rochester, NY weather round’ this time of year when it’s still in 50s and you can do yard work, go for walks or hang out on the porch without sweating your pants off. I always thought it was much easier to layer up and turn the thermostat up to get warm but living in a place where it’s so humid and hot where I find it’s harder to cool off. Plus the season changes you know what to expect when the temperature than living in a semi tropical environment.
Go ROC !

On the other hand, I'm also not a February in Connecticut kinda gal either. Extremes bother me in all things, from weather to politics. But given only two choices: a couple of months with a couple feet of snow and a nor'easter OR 6 months of heat and humidity - I'd rather crank up the heat and shovel my way to the snow plow in the garage.
