Disgusting Weather

as long as the air temperature is above freezing, it can hold a pretty decent amount of water. When it gets down lower, the moisture condenses anywhere it can, but sometimes it can’t find enough area to condense on, so it can be pretty wet and cold especially at near freezing temps. It doesn’t get particularly dry and cold until it gets down to about 20 degrees below freezing, and if where you are is like where I am, that only happens for a few weeks in January and February.

I’m with you, I hate heat, and by heat I mean any temperature above 60 F. I saw a video claiming that we might enter a new ice age if the polar vortex keeps slowing down, and the video was all doom and gloom about it, and I was entirely feeling the other way. An ice age sounds pretty wonderful. To get rid of mosquitos, the most evil assistant of heat, you need to get down into single digits a few weeks a year, and only get into triple digits for a few hours a year.

What’s worse where I am, the water table is too high. For most of the year it’s a few feet below ground level. So you can’t build a basement unless your house is up on a hill. A basement would be just the thing for this heat, soil temps keep basements near 60 year round.

God, another year to three before I can get out. Seems like an eternity, but it’ll be over eventually right? I hate that the one thing that would really set me up is if my parents died. I don’t want them dead, but I also don’t want to live here. The crazy thing is people are moving here, where I am, where it’s triple digits three to five months out of the year, and humid.

all that being said, Florida is worse. Lousiana is worse. Most of the coastal Atlantic is worse.
