[reply][reply]Thanks for the invitation. That’s nice of you! I’ve never been to St. Louis. Actually, I haven’t been many places in the US except for up and down the East coast. Are you having really bad weather up there right now?
There’s been a lot more snow this season than most years recently, but it’s not too bad. Our weather is kind of notorious for being really cold in the winter, really hot (and even worse, super humid) in the summer, and it can swing wildly back and forth. 60 degree changes of temperature in a single day happens a few times a year. We get amazing thunderstorms too. So yeah, there HAS been weather here lately, but nothing we can’t cope with. One of our favorite things to fo here is laugh at the southerners freaking out about a little dusting of snow, but at the same time we don’t typically get foot upon foot of snow like they do in Colorado, and though it gets pretty fucking cold here, it’s not as absolutely miserable as Chicago can be. I swear I am never going THERE again before May or after September.
STL has a lot of cool stuff going for it, but still kind of despises itself. Municipal inferiority complex.[/reply]
Mishella, I’m a live and let live person.
DB, I’ll be in town 22-27 April. If you are free, the evening of the 22nd works best for me as I will have to work very long hours the other days.
I experienced the amazing thunderstorm of late April 2012 that had the huge hailstones and the man over by the ballpark who was struck and killed by lightning. I was watching the live webcast of the event taking place in the EJ Dome from my hotel room when I head the Dome announcer tell everyone to stay in their seats due to very severe weather. I looked out the window to see hailstones a little larger than golf balls bounce off the roof and hit my window. Just across the river, the hailstones were the size of softballs/grapefruit and shattered several car windows.
Agreed. Chicago has no happy medium. I’ve been there when it was over 100 deg. (June/July) and when it was gone with the wind freezing cold (April and October). However, I think I could live there.[/reply][email]
Mooney, you are in Orlando? I’m in Melbourne.
