>>1765780Here’s the thing people who aren’t from there don’t get about the Gulf South: it’s hot for months straight and the winters feel much colder than they are.
>b-but it gets hot in the Midwest and the South has mild winters!Shut up faggot. Imagine leaving for work around 7am and it’s already uncomfortably warm (high 70’s, extremely humid, and no wind). When you get home, it’s still hot. Run a few errands, go to the gym, swing by the grocery store, take the trash out at 9:30. It’s been dark for a while and it’s still hot. Wake up and do it over again; it doesn’t cool off. And that can last from April until October. There’s no midsummer cool front. The entire reason I switched to a hammock when I lived in Louisiana was because I had a really warm and stuffy 3 night hike... in late March.
I think people moved there in the 50’s and 60’s out of ignorance. They equated warm weather with whatever good weather they were used to.
The winters are fucking horrible too. InB4 people start googling low temps. It’s all about perception. I’ve lived in the PNW for several years now, and lived in Maryland for two years, yet the South always had winters that felt colder despite being so much warmer.
It’s all about perception. It takes the average person 10 days to acclimate to colder weather but only 3 days to acclimate to warmer weather. So when a cold front comes through and drops the high temp from 70° to 45°, you’ll need time to acclimate. But you never get that time because the cold weather lasts for maybe 4 days and it warms up again. So you quickly acclimate to the warmer temps... and get hit with another front. It’s never cold long enough for acclimation, so you’ll putting on a down parka because it’s 50° outside.
70° days do sound nice, but you get fucked again because that doesn’t happen daylight saving time ends.
tl;dr the South has the worst weather in the country.
