I love residing in this region of the country. The terrain is so much more diverse and appealing than the region I came from. There are Rolling Hills and appealing orange trees everywhere you look. There are even some mountains and awesome hiking areas, which I try to take fortune of. The other thing that I legitimately love is the weather. During the summer, it can be a major struggle to contend with the heat and humidity for 6 months straight. It gets old pretty hastily, and you spend a lot of time in the a/c as the Summer winds up. However, the real treat is when winter settles in. That’s because my friend and I don’t get a real winter, as far as I’m upset. When I lived in the north section of the country, my friend and I experienced an extreme winter every single year. The extreme temperature and weather conditions were the bane of my existence for 20 years. It lasted for 6 to 8 months, and controlled every aspect of your life. The freezing air would absolutely get down to -20 degrees at times, and it was impossible to keep the chilly air out of your house. I was constantly wrapped in blankets and kneeling in front of space heaters. It was constantly snowing and dumping ice onto the roads, making the whole experience even more miserable. The winter is dragged from October to March, and there is no respite from the freezing except for operating your extravagant Central boiler. When people complain about the weather in the South, I just laugh and remind myself how fortunate I am to wear sweatshirts all winter long.
