I wouldn't REFUSE to live in Texas but that would be a big drawback for me. I am a person that enjoys cool/cold weather much more the scalding hot and humid weather. My uncle lives in Houston and that place is a living hell in the summer.

LOL, yeah, Houston is a special kind of heat. Austin gets hot, this year set all kinds of records, but it's not the sauna Houston is. The coldest it gets here is in the 20's (February)... Lately the high has been in the upper 50's. The high today will be ~65. The weather here is like San Diego in October, November, March and April.

What is it about cold weather you prefer to hot weather? Do you ski? Winter is the only time I'm not playing out door sports, but at least I don't have to worry about snow/salt.

Lots of cowboys.

LOL!!

I've never been to Alabama but I've been to far East Mississippi and far West Florida along the gulf coast... Thought it was great.

Trying to figure this out as well. I simply can't understand other people's wilingness to endure extreme cold over extreme heat. I'd much rather be sitting in 90 degree weather than shivering my ass off in near-teen conditions. The latter is much more draining on me physically.

I play baseball in 100+ heat every summer. Once you're sweating, which is basically immediately, haha, you forget all about the heat. I've played flag football over the winter before... I played for 2 teams that season and I'm glad I did because the first game was always so painful. Once you're numb, it's bearable.

Okay, wow.

CA: Extremely liberal, but beautiful. I've visited a great deal of the state including far north.
VA: I had no idea. I didn't mind my visit to Norfolk.
NJ: Snookie.
OH: mikes2nd
NY: way too hard to be a car enthusiast (same goes for CA)
IL: most corrupt state.
TX: ...uh... It's hot? Lots of mexicans?

texas has an ego problem...only behind that of california and ohio.

Having spent many summers in 20+ lbs of gear in 100+ heat with heavy humidity, I can honestly say I know the feeling.

You're not proud of your state? I'd much rather live in a place people are proud of than a place people hate. I've got a LOT of relatives that live in California that are far from proud of it. Is everyone in Georgia as depressed and pitiful as you?

pitiful? hardly. depressed? only because of what's happening NATIONWIDE.

p.s.

there's a difference between being proud of what you are/have, and being cocky about it. texas is a lot more of the latter than texans will ever admit.

I don't care how YOU describe it. Texans are far from shy about this topic.











Shouldn't you be cutting yourself or something? You've had such a hard, miserable life.

I will have to agree with you about Houston. It is disgustingly humid in the summer. But we do have plenty of cool weather.

Here are some pictures, all from different years I've been in Dallas. Basically what I could find on facebook.












I was born a Minnesotan but I will live and die as a Texan.
