(5,909 posts)You can't walk from the house to the car without sweat pouring off you. Our subdivision has a public pool that we go to but the water is so warm it barely cools you off. I have to get in every 5 minutes. Of course we have central air but it gets so hot by May and you don't turn in off until October you get no break on the electricity bill because you have such a small window (no pun intended) where you're not running the air or the heat.
There's so many transplants from Northern states who think I'm nuts because I miss the snow so much.
I just miss NE in general--Friday night fish frys, fried clams, the fall (my favorite season), good pizza and most of all my family.
I think my NE accent (that I thought I never had but everyone down here tells me I do) got stronger because I was hell bent on not picking up a Southern one. No offense to Southerners. My kids don't have it either, and they were both born down here.
Sorry for ranting; it's just nice to talk to a New Englander, and I'm such a New England girl at heart!
