(25,415 posts)It was the early 70's. We are from Connecticut so it was a huge culture shock. My Dad said it was incredibly hot in El Paso where he was stationed. I think the heat scares the hell out of me. I am spoiled. 90 degree weather for three months in the summer is enough for me. It 's going to be 90 today and that is unusual in May. Needless to say, everyone is freaking out and getting their air conditioners out.
I also happen to like snow. Even our crazy blizzard this past winter that took 3 days to dig out from.
And my Dad said the bugs were huge. And Texas is too big. I live in a dinky state where it takes an hour and a half to get to the other side of, if that. Even if we are one of the most expensive states to live in, we have some things going for us. Sorry, Texas. But I would visit on a vacation.
