Aren't snowdrifts fun?
There's this stretch of road by my house that runs along a field and no-one seems to claim responsibility for cleaning the sidewalk because its basically next to nothing. There's a chainlink fence that runs right beside the sidewalk the entire length of the block, and the way the wind blows it causes a massive drift to build up against the fence completely taking over the sidewalk. By the end of winter its usually at least chest high on me (6'4").

I'm more into surf boards than snow boards. I was visiting a client the last few days in Indianapolis, and I'm really glad I didn't get stuck(going down to a high of 19 there today). I don't know how you Mid Westerners stay so nice with this cold weather.

I actually think people in Oregon are generally a lot nicer than most of the midwesterners I've met.
It could just be that I live in the cities + take the bus so I don't exactly see the shining examples of humanity here. I do see homeless people get in fist fights though.

Where I live was the second coldest place on the planet three days ago. -46.1C (-50.98F) was the ambient temperature. With windchill it was -58.4C (-73.12F). Even the Arctic was warmer and only one town in Siberia recorded lower temperatures. With temps like that, humidity is the last thing on anyone's mind. ;)

I've always lived here. I'm just used to it, although that day was a bit extreme.
Also, on the flip side, temps in the mid to high 80's Farenheit are verging on too hot for me. Once it gets into the 90's and above I can't handle it. At least with cold weather, you can stay inside to avoid it. Even with air conditioning, hot weather stays hot. I doubt I could ever comfortably live anywhere in the Southern half of the United States.

Its Oklahoman weather, give it 5 minutes, it'll change.

I find air conditioning to be pitifully useless in really hot weather when compared to furnaces and really cold weather. For the most part it just makes a warm breeze, albeit a slightly cooler one, blow around the room. The exceptions of course are industrial strength air conditioners like they have in public buildings, but who has one of those at home?
And you can always put on more clothes if you're too cold, but you're limited in how much clothing you can take off if you're too hot.
