For any of
you that wanted to know what's it's like to live in Florida!
I disagree entirely. The record high temperature in the history of the
Tampa Bay weather bureau is 97. It has never been any higher. We have never
had a 100 degree day. The hottest days in NJ are much hotter than the
hottest days here. We have more days above 90. The temperature here is 89,
90 or 91 every day. Every summer NJ has many days that are higher than the
record highs here.
Though the original message was intended to be humorous, I have to
agree with you here. Though I've lived in the Washington DC area now
for about nine years, I've lived in Tampa for a while, and I have a
house (a rental property) in Treasure Island...Every day of the
Washington DC summer that I sweat and choke through leaves me longing
for Tampa Bay weather. Nowhere near this hot in the summer, nowhere
near this cold in the winter, and a certain lack of bullets flying
overhead makes it so much more...relaxing.
