One Buffalo Summer is worth twenty Phoenix winters.
rising,
I am glad you feel like that--I can't agree completely, however. The air is so humid in buffalo, you could walk on water and not be religious--that said, I miss Buffalo summers immensely and a nice electrical storm.
buffalo summers are gorgeous and 5 or 6 degrees cooler that areas even further north .the humidity is not bad overall. the lake helps a lot.mm jazz's perception is not in tune with my perception. even without the humidity allsouthern and midwestern cities are just unbearable in the summer. having lived in florida and the southwest i can tell you that 95 degrees + with or without humidity is fricken brutal. dont buy that dry heat bs. http://www.livescience.com/health/060621_sweaty_cities.html good link
Yeah, there's always that day in July with 90 degrees and 90% humidity, but you get that everywhere east of the Big Muddy so book a trip to Aspen when you see it coming or better yet, open the windows, turn up the fan and watch the 1959 version of "Cape fear".
When I was back home last year the first week of July for Buffalo Old Home Week I couldn't resist rubbing it in with my co-workers back in Vegas. My weather station I have at home recorded mean temperatures of around 100 degrees every day with highs rannging between 110 to 117 degrees while I enjoyed temperatures in the 70's and low 80's in Buffalo. Even with 68% humidity it felt great.
With the exploding population and more and more streches of parking lots and black asphalt roads the temperature has continued to rise on average in Vegas, they call it the "heat island" effect.
Oh yeah, it's a "dry heat" alright-- well, the inside of a blast furnace is a dry heat, too!
only thing missing from the photo is Jessica Fletcher on her bike. summers are awesome here!
High humidity?!?! SIlly people, try living in the south. One of the main reasons I wanted to move back here was because it's so heavy and hot down there! Arkansas has a nice Spring and Fall otherwise it's brown, hot and humid or brown, cold and humid. Also, the Southern Tier or Lake Ontario are great places to escape the heat here. Also, what's wrong with March!?! It rocks February's face off, at least some weather happens in March huge extremes, 60 degress to 0 degrees. Feb is like the big lame chill. I bet we skip most of Spring again this year and hit Summer in mid April. Thank you global warming......
