Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 3221522, member: 5037"] Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s overall better than New England. I’m on the Heat side of things here. It just seemed like you were downplaying how terrible it gets for four months, or like the dozen things you have to do aren’t such a big deal. I lived in Vegas for a short period of time that did include the summer. I’m sorry, the low desert’s worst four months are absolutely at least as oppressive as is Boston’s. One reason is the consistency of how terribly hot it is. Night is your only brief break. During the day, you are rushing as fast as you can between air-conditioned indoors. Lips cracking before you can even get to your car. As you said, pools bring brief and minimal relief. Every day it’s in the triple digits and you’re hoping it’s “only” 102. Boston has its horrific days and even weeks, but even here in SD, I’ve seen the weather forecasts for New England in the winters, and I lived there for three years, it’s 50/50 when the highs are below freezing.
