Not all of us are proud of what's happening in New England. The country folk and those of us tied to the ocean are horrified. Personally, if it wasn't so damn hot down there, I'd head to the south. All the places with cool weather are run by fruit loops. Is there a connection? Break out your conspiracy theories!
Hon...I think you meant to post to a weather thread.
I am in New Hampshire at the moment, but lived in Tennessee 1999-2004. We found that winters are milder (but you do get some snow), and that summers were actually a bit cooler than New England's. If the heat bothers you? Central air...it's a beautiful thing. I'm headed back in spring...better weather; lower heating costs; MUCH LOWER taxes, and wonderful people. Can't wait...
