I don't know about you guys, but living here in Indiana during the Winter months can be REALLY draining. Anyone else live in this area that's pumped about the 80 degree weather that's supposed to be here tomorrow and Saturday? :-)

  • Brad,

    I'm originally from Des Plaines, IL (O'Hare airport burbs), so I know how you feel. I currently live in the foothills of North Carolina and we've had a good mixture of sun and rain these last few weeks. Today was the first of our 80+ F degree weather - with Saturday being 85F.

    However, I like cooler weather over warmer weather overall. Easier to warm up than cool down, in my opinion. Autumn is my fave season.
  • Ha ha...we already got that weather here in Western Washington. And when the sun shines here in the Pacific Northwest, it truly looks like heaven.

    • The weather hasn't been too bad on the other side of the mountains here in Eastern Washington either.
  • Brad,

    We hit 75 here today, and 77 in Knoxville. Supposed to be 80+ in Knoxville the next 3-days, so we will get upper 70's to low 80's here. (About 45 miles north)

    Can't wait! Sick & tired of the cold, and the $350 a month electric bills!

  • this week we had 101, 105, 103 and all of a sudden today we have 65 degrees in California
  • I live in Panama. Boquete, Panama to be exact. Year round it's 75-85 degrees.

    Fabulous golf weather and I don't miss the winter!

    • Alex, you're not aloud in this conversation. Kidding :-)

      Man, I really need to move.

  • I'm with Barbara - I like the Autumn too. It's just starting to warm up here in the UK, which usually means that in approximately three weeks it will cool down again The rest of our 'summer' is then spent watching televised coverage of the flood water being pumped from homes in various parts of the country, with the odd break in the proceedings to watch the covers being thrown over the courts at Wimbledon to protect them from an oncoming downpour. We're ready for the sun here, but the ducks are ready for the summer
  • Brad, I am counting the hours!.....I hate the winter and all the gloominess.

    Couldn't be happier that the weather is getting sunnier and warmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • I only wish I was ready for "it."

      It is coming and I am so deep in work load right now I am afraid I will miss it all.

      I LOVE the heat, humidity, and this year on top of it all I'm on an Island!

      Ugh.

      Have looked around for a proper sunshade for my laptop - but not convinced with what I find. Would love to sit on the beach and just do my thing - you know?

      Unfortunately a lot of video means a lot of external hard drives to hold the data.

      It all becomes a nightmare - and the fear of the sand in my laptop keyboard.

    • Well, it is always sunny and hot over here in Singapore.

      Sometimes I wish I can enjoy 4 seasons ....
    • Please tell me that is Celcius.
    • Brad,
      I feel your pain...I'm here on the edge of the planet - Ohio. Funny thing, I kind of like the challenge of the seasons. Making it through another winter gives me a sense of accomplishment. Let's see if we can beat another blizzard and have some fun no school snow days.

      Ooops, let me properly reword that, making it through another winter gives me plenty of time to hole up and spend countless hours in front of this computer (maybe a few good hours of guitar jam sessions with a couple cold ones too!).

      I've even developed special skills like driving fearlessly in a white out while pretending it's just another day. Now that's something my tropical friends can't boast of.

      I think paradise is a place you find in your mind. It's where you sacrifice the least and but still have the most. You bloom where you are planted.

      Again the old "when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade" adage is proven daily here. I saw it again this winter when my snow plow guy turned into a snowplow engineer when I asked him to plow it all into one big pile. It musta been 10' high by about 20' wide.

      My son and his friends played on that pile for nearly two weeks. Sled riding down and winding down the drive, spacious snow forts complete with maid service, and hours of fun with a cup of hot chocolate within a call's safe reach.

      Besides, beer gets warm so quickly when in the tropics!

      Bloom where you are planted, let the wind blow the seed if it wants.

      Best to all.

      Time for some heat-prevention product seling?!!
  • Me, me, me! I am so ready for the sun ... but I'm in GA and have been freezing for a year now it seems. Bring on the rays - I'll be glad to ditch my foofie, trade it for a bikini. Well, maybe not, but the idea of sun is a good one. Lots and lots of sunshine.

      We had an old fashion winter here in NY, so yea it sucked.
  • We've had a similar situation here in MN. And nope, I'm not excited about 80 degree weather. I've always loved cloudy, cold weather - you can have the summer
