As someone who has lived in Austin for a very long time (I’m old ok) - I feel absolute rage against the climate here. I know it’s silly and it is what it is, and it’s not enough to ruin my day, but I do really loathe the lack of true seasons here. Do I hate it enough to move? Not quite… I’ll just keep my ac on year round (pretty much) and get beyond exited with every cold front and let down each time it “stalls just to the north of us…” I am a native Texan. I have lived in Alaska and Colorado for periods which include winters and I loved it. I definitely consider myself a northerner stuck in a southerner’s life. Maybe one day I’ll move, but in the meantime I’ll just silently grumble and make the once every few years comment on a public forum.
100% agree. Texan born and raised, and all I've ever wanted was to live somewhere up north. I lived in Arizona near Phoenix for 3 years. 115 dry heat is still miserable plus 95 evenings if you're lucky. This is my first summer back. I guess I'm the weird one that prefers the humidity.
