BAH! You're just jealous of our absolutely perfect year-round weather :-p


*giggle*

[Laureana]

BAH! I cant wait to get away from this 'perfect' weather (been in it 20 years) and go up to Washington. Bring on the rain!! lol

[GraemeFaelban]

I quite gladly gave up Southern California weather 9 years ago. Along with the smog and rush hour lasting til midnight or later. I now happilly live somewhere where we actually have seasons, and it takes me 20 minutes to commute 20 miles to work.

Come to SoFla!

Rains every day for about 20 minutes, the rest of the time its pretty nice.

My god, we're living in areas of beautiful weather, and we stay inside playing EQ.

[GraemeFaelban]

Well, if I lived in Florida, I'd be staying inside too. Two visits was plenty of time spent there for my tastes.

[Laureana]

We had a choice of either Jacksonville Florida or Whidbey Island Washington, we chose Washington (leaving in march).. My cousin is stationed in Florida and he says even when its a decent temperature the humidty kills ya so wwe opted to not join him out there lol

[Inyidd]

It's not raining right now, but it looks like it should start raining pretty soon. Hopefully in the next week or so.

Pft!

From the sound of it, Whidbey Island is in the western half of Washington, which means that the humidity there is undoubtedly quite a bit higher than it is in Florida. The difference, of course, is that in Washington you can see the humidity falling from the sky, while in Florida, its more subtle.

I actually spent a couple of years in eastern Washington (its much more dry there, however), including several months in the desert.

And I'm glad I'm back in Southern California (except for the ridiculously high cost of living here).

That actually happened to me on more than one occasion when I was growing up in the UP of Michigan (I yoosta be a yooper).

And I know how to play Euchre and I honeymooned in Escanaba (sad, I know).

Nope. I work on Whidbey, but I don't live here. However, a good portion of the people I interact with on a daily basis here are. Between Whidbey and Everett, we're overrun!
