I live in Paulding County...about 30 miles west of Atlanta...You?
Cool thanks for the info, I really did want to know. I'm down by the FL border...Kingsland, GA

Well, you'd just go have to California or somewhere were the ocean current comes from the poles. Or if the cold climate gets heated pools, the high climate should have chilled pools.

It's going to be freezing (not literally lol). It was so cold I just got back from the drag strip, they weren't running cars because it was going to get 'too cold.'

if you can heat a pool, you can heat a house.

Not necessarily true. When I was deployed, it was regularly over 135F during the day, and there was about a ten day stretch where it wouldn't drop below 100F at night. The (unshaded) pool, for whatever reason, didn't rise above about 93F. If you could build a canopy over a pool, I'd bet you could keep it relatively comfortable.
Don't feel bad, Florida-type guys... temperature is completely relative. We used to laugh in the desert at the new guys coming in on their first deployments... they'd stare at us like we were martians because it'd be 85F, and we'd be walking around in our fleece jackets. What they soon realized is, when it's 135-145F all day, and drops to 80-85F at night, you get pretty cold!!

I think really hot weather is awesome,especially for swimming and going to the beach and stuff. So I vote for 100 degrees.

When I was a kid I noticed people always complained about the weather. In winter it was to cold, in summer it was to hot, so around 10 years old, I made up my mind to pick a favorite and never complain about it.
But mine was, would I rather die in a rocket heading for the sun? Or on an open raft in the antarctic?
So, hands down, it was the sun, so if the temp never dipped below 100, I'd be happy as a clam.
I hate the cold! hate it! hate it hate it!!
and I hate it for anyone in the snow right now!

Thank you... I appreciate it.. Where I live winter is downright nasty and cold, of course not as bad as Maine or NH but its bad enough. I have lived here my whole life and I cannot stand it. I hate hate hate the snow..I have always said if I could find a job that pays what I am getting paid up here (unlikely) in FL I would move in a second.. Did I mention I Hate the cold?

I'm from South Carolina, 100 degrees isn't anything special. 100 degrees, with 95% humidity is pretty bad, but I go golfing in 100 degrees all of the time.

Some things are just worth it though. My hubby took a 30 thousand dollar pay cut so we could move here! Wasn't any fun having the money but nothing to do with it unless we left the state.
So now, for free, we fish, swim, and can camp in our camper, for only 20 bucks a night at the state parks!
oh PS.. LOOOOVE that avatar!

I can understand that.
And thanks... I needed a change.

56 degrees is T-shirt weather here in Philadelphia. Give me 100 degree dry southwest desert heat. Quite bearable.

100 isnt that bad. In the summer we hope its that cool out.
I just spent the last two months in the Chicago suburbs. About 5 blocks from Lake Michigan. It was HORRIBLE in the mornings trying to get out of bed. I would have to have 4 blankets on me at night.
100 degrees is nothing.
