No snow here, but it's about 15 degrees.  :mad:

On the bright side, the high on Saturday is supposed to be 65 and sunny. Gotta love Ohio weather...  :icon_confused:

High here in FL today is 65 (the very northern end of the state).  Not a cloud in the sky, and yesterday I was out riding with just a t-shirt under my jacket.

As for the CA members...your weather may be marginally nicer, but I don't pay state income tax.  Suck THAT.  :flipoff:

When it rains, it pours...

We northerners come here and complain about the 15 in. of snow and 10 degree temps we have, and we get taunted about the beautiful 70 degrees and sunny weather all you lucky people have.  :technical:

Sorry Bucks1605, I had it your way 2 years ago.  I grew up in Marysville (just outside Dublin) and moved to Phoenix after I graduated to ESCAPE THAT CRAP WEATHER!

My folks live in Dublin, I grew up there and now I'm down in Cincinnati for school... but it's all the same. I wouldn't mind moving somewhere warm after I graduate, this weather is depressing!

My cousin either JUST graduated or is getting ready to graduate from UC engineering.  If you can stand being away from family, I'm all for recommending living in Phoenix.  Its really beautiful, weather is amazing except for 2-3 months in the summer where it never gets below 90 (even at night), and there are JOBS out here lol

Yeah, but your dry 90 is WAY more pleasant than our 98% humidity 90.  :cheers:

That "jobs" word sounds pretty convincing. There doesn't seem to be many of those around here, I've never been turned down by so many companies.

HAHAHAH, thats the exact reason my fiance and I went AZ no FL!  She is a teacher we came here because of the teaching shortages and we were GAURANTEED a job for her.  She was looking for almost 2 years when the school district she is at now came to a job fair at OSU, and she walked out with a contract offer. 

Our 90 might not be as hot as FL's 90, but last summer we set a record of consecutive 120+ temps with 32 straight days!  Man you can not imagine how HOT 120 degrees actually is lol the tar holding reflectors in the ground became gooey and if you kicked the reflectors you could pull them up!

The one really cool thing is that we can set our AIR CONDITIONING at 80-83 during the summer and it is still comfortable and cool in the apartment!  And if we wanted to get to a cooler area, we can drive 2 hours to flagstaff and be in Ohio like weather!

Post by: murf425 on March 02, 2009, 12:49:37 PM
What do you mean, drive to Flagstaff to get cool!!?  Just get on your bike and keep moving at 55 or 60+ and you'll be fine.   :icon_lol:
Title: Re: And then there was snow...
Post by: utgunslinger13 on March 02, 2009, 12:50:33 PM
HAHAH my bike doesn't even start yet, although I bet that ride up to flagstaff would be killer!  Its about an 8000 foot elevation change in about 150-200 miles!

Yea, I don't think I'd move there anytime soon.  I think 80 degrees is too hot even in the summer.

The thing I like about being in the northeast is that we do get 4 full seasons.  And thanks to the winters, 50 feels nice and toasty in the spring!
Title: Re: And then there was snow...
Post by: utgunslinger13 on March 02, 2009, 01:47:09 PM
yeah but being originally from the NE, what I grew up thinking 120 feels like is not the same as it feels out here in Phoenix, but it is still hot.  And I'm willing to deal with that for a month to have 60-70 degrees from about october-march!

I hate dry heat. The problem is - I blister. Charlotte's humidity is a lot better for that, sweat is better than boils.
BTW CA vs NC, I would definitely take NC ... even if by a very very very small margin. I like NC summers, I like the NC winters as well, didn't we have 70 degrees mid feb ? however CA weather between april and october its so damn predictable, years in advance you can say its sunny and not a cloud in the sky.
Jobs ... ha ha ha ha ha ... like there is any in NC ...
Cost-a-living yes, acreage, yes, freaking hell, most everything is better including chicks in NC, but for commuting in traffic and for insurance rules on bikes, CA is a beauty. Nothing even comes close.
Cool.
