Question of the Day - Thursday January 9th, 2025

I'll take Hot and Sticky. Granted I like the four seasons to a point. This Windy frigid weather I could happily do without. I'm ready for Spring and it's only January.

I'd take hot and sticky. Frigid and cold trigger my asthma really bad.To hot and humid are an issue too but not as bad as cold. I get what neely said about migraines the heat and humidity trigger those and make them worse

Thank goodness for Central Airconditioning and people with Snow Plow services so I no longer have to trudge through the snow clearing my sidewalk and driveway.

I'm grateful that "frigid and windy" doesn't have the implications in most of this continent that it does in North America and Europe! Temperatures close to freezing during the day aren't really a thing outside Tasmania or the Alps and a few spots in the south. Last winter is the first I remember where we had a fair few below-freezing nights, and I've lived here all my life (apart from two years in Queensland).

Lucky You to have lived in a temperant climate.

That's good you don't have really cold temperatures but boy those days over hundred aren't great either!

Too true, and those are what I really dislike out of the weather range we have.

Yes indeed, it's the heat that really sucks here, and mercifully it's not year-round where I live. Give me actual seasons!

Looks so lovely there and you have beautiful birds and plants we don't have here. A very long plane ride though. My son loves to travel and always tell him he should go to Australia. He as been all over. He always says you know how long a flight that is? I don't know what difference that make for him he is on planes a lot!

It is rare we get a true spring where I am . Usually we go right from winter to summer.

Hmm. Off me? I would hate both. I abhor the wind and don't function well in the heat. I always think I need to live somewhere temperate year round.

Bummer!
Autumn is my favourite season. I'd love to have seen autumn in the states that have such beautiful colours, like Vermont, but my two visits to the US were to California and Illinois.

Yeah, it's a devil of a long flight (not as bad as to England, though - that was about 26 hours iirc). At least going from Melbourne to LAX I was able to avoid Sydney Airport by going via Auckland. However my flying days are over.

Hot and sticky. I turn into a popsicle around the end of September and never really thaw out until around the end of May. I cannot stand being cold.
