[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weather is absolutely brutal in Chicago many months of the year. I wouldn't move. I like someone's idea for your dh to commute.[/quote]

LOL  Oh please - it is not that bad, Princess.  You bundle up.  [/quote]

Not PP, but it really isn't super pleasant.  I'd rather not spend months of my life going from my car, to a building, to my car, to home and never spend time outside.  It wears on you.  [/quote]

Funny, that's EXACTLY how I feel about summers in DC. Except for winter I can wear more clothes and make it easier to handle, I can't compensate for crap summer weather that way.

Eh, to each his/her own.  I'm also a Chicagoan in DC and while I find that DC is usually only about 5 degrees warmer than Chicago at any given time, Chicago has to deal with the annual dump of snow, which I just don't want to invest time in moving or driving through anymore.  It's so much fun when DC has snow and the city shuts down because "ERMAHGERD, SNOW!"  Moving here has made snow such a fun novelty.  [/quote]

I agree that snow is way more fun here than there. but IMO "only 5 degrees warmer at any given time" is a nice demonstration of how mindset affects our perception of the weather. the humidity pattern is so different...humidity here isn't cleared out by thunderstorms like it is there. Often it's just as humid, if not lots worse, after the rain than before. [/quote]
