I'm a native of Baton Rouge and I still suffer in the hot muggy summers. I worked outdoors for a few years and by the end of a work day in the summer I would be totally exhausted and sometimes dehydrated no matter how much water I drank. Now I work inside in my home office and in the summer my electric bill goes through the roof because the air conditioner is working full blast 24/7. Last summer I went fishing one particularly hot day and when I got back to the boat landing I discovered that I had left the lights on in my truck and the battery was dead. Worse- I had left the jumper cables in my other car. I almost passed out walking around the parking lot trying to borrow some jumper cables.

I lived in Boulder, Colorado for a year in the 70's. One late August day the temperature was in the 90's but it wasn't uncomfortable because of the low humidity. That afternoon I walked about 3 miles to visit a friend. I was still wearing shorts and a T shirt. It started to get colder and colder as I walked and the temperature dropped very rapidly. By the time I got to her apartment it was snowing. IN AUGUST!!.

Yes, Louisiana summers are hot and miserable but nobody is going to freeze to death. I watched the Patriots-Titans game on TV today. It was 3 degrees in Foxboro with a wind chill of -12 but the stadium was still packed. I think if I lived in Massachusetts I would have stayed home and watched it on TV even if I had 50 yard line tickets.

Its official now and Nick Saban is staying here as LSU's coach. I know that he had a lot of factors to consider in making his decision but I wonder it the choice of continuing to live in a warm climate vs braving the chill winds coming off of Lake Michigan in the Windy City had just a little influence on his decision.

The 1st spring I was in Denver, it was Late May after Memorial Day.
It was sunny and probably 60 degrees out but by 5 pm that day
it became overcast and cold awfully fast and the next thing you
know it started snowing.

I love living here in Colorado, the summers aren't quite as bad and here in Denver the winters aren't as bad as Alaska, although in the high country it is, we've had a California winter of sorts.

It's been extremely mild and 50's and 60's for quite some time.
This winter has been very strange, almost NO WINTER.
