Wasn't there some longform article that came out a few years ago about the utter lack of drainage in Tampa considering its location, compounded by overdevelopment? Something about certain parts of it have standing water or mild flooding even with minor storms?

I'm surprised the thread is unaware, but Tampa is under a protection spell and cannot be hit directly by a hurricane

I just hate the physical feeling of being hot/sweaty an incredible amount I guess Yeah, people really just do not want to accept that cold preference is a thing. I'm "fine" in hot temperatures. I spend hours outside in our garden or at the beach in 90+ degree heat every year, I just hate it. I would spend my whole life at 65-70 and be happy, but honestly I'd take sub-32 over 85+ any day of the week. I'm generally out hiking all winter long, but never hit the trails in the middle of the summer.

I think what really bothers me the most about those maps is that they still use the mercator projection that far up north. At that point just use a different projection!

Vladimir Poutine posted:imo if you grew up somewhere hot then it’s more likely that you’ll arrive at the only correct set of opinions: hot weather is charmless garbage and cold weather is to be over romanticised and considered almost magical Grew up in Memphis TN. Heat is loving hell. Everyone I know who says they like it hot just spends all loving day in the AC. There's like 2 whole months where its pleasant and everyone is all "ahh see this is so nice!" Now live in the PNW because I can enjoy the temp outside like 7 months out of the year and I only see snow at my house like 1 week of the year and have to turn on some AC maybe like for a month.

having lived in both texas and florida, texas heat is way worse. in florida it never really gets hotter than 95 and it cools off pretty quick after sunset. texas is just unbearably hot all loving day.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:1) it will Yeah, although the altitude seems to keep a lid on how high it can get. Colorado is the mother of rivers, we'll be better off than everyone else in the Intermountain west except for like Idaho probably. Still want to move to MI or MN eventually but I'll miss the dry climate
