And certainly not by the standards endured by Merkins & Aussies.
So I'm the whiner here.

When we have April heat waves in the high 80s, I'm miserable, because I expect it to be in to 60s. But high 80s would be pretty nice now, since it's been in the high 90s for the last few weeks.

I just know you love snow, Sundae! I'm anti-snow. Snow bastids!
It really is what you're used to, though. When my extremely southern friend talks about having snow, it is to LAUGH for me. Puh, you don't know from snow. But when he talks about the heat they get...I just shut my mouth for the most part because we don't typically have this kind of long-term enduring heatwave.
It's like how you can pick out tourists from Ohio and other similiar climates when they're in FL in the spring. 50 degrees and the tourists are in shorts and t-shirts just loving it. The locals think we're all bonkers.
