Second day in a row 90 degrees here in the Adirondacks. Last time we had a 90 degree day was 2013. This is unbearable for me. Bless those of you that worship this.

So you would rather give up the historical and coastal beauty of Maine and be hot, hot, hot for 6 months in TV?

The coast is a very small, and this time of year, crowded part of Maine...so yes

Why won't Floridians share honest comments with Northerners in July but laugh at them in January?

People who move to Florida do so because they would prefer to deal with the heat than with the cold, snow and ice. It's hot but we like it.

I agree. This would work in any snow free state.

Just looking over the responses to this thread, it doesn't look like many villagers mind the heat. In fact, I would say their comments reflect mostly a happiness to be in TV no matter the time of year. Not sure what you see as dishonest?



If the heat bothers you so much, maybe some reverse psychology would work here. While they laugh at you in January, you can just laugh at them in July......that way everybody's happy!

They can laugh all they want, I love heat. No one likes snow, ice, freezing rain and if you do you also remember your first nose rub.

A few years back, my husband and I purposefully spent the full month of August in TV. We wanted to see what it was like and to determine for ourselves whether it would be tolerable or not. Maybe we hit a good year, I don't know, but we found it tolerable and many days even comfortable. If we were outside during the middle of the day, we either stayed in shaded areas or under patios/lanais with fans. The evenings cooled down some and there always seemed to be a breeze. It felt to me as if between the sandy soil and very hot sun, it actually burned off the humidity somewhat. Does that make sense? Not so here in the mid-Atlantic at all. When it's hot it is stifling and although the temp may go down in the evening it still feels like a steam bath when you walk outside. And it can last for days, sometimes weeks at a time. The humidity and resultant heat index is so high it truly is intolerable. I attribute it here to the very damp soil (a lot of clay) and the overwhelming number of deciduous trees, not to mention the congestion and other things already mentioned by others on this thread. Unless we have a very dry summer up here, it always feels somewhat damp. Mix that with heat and that's what I call uncomfortable.



And let's not even discuss utility bills. The size of my house up north is not triple the size of my house in Florida but the utility bills sure are! Not happy about that at all!
