Well, I don't know if this will make you feel any better but South Carolina gets miserable summers. Months of highs in the 90's with wretched humidity and king-sized mosquitoes and gnats and fire ants (which I'm allergic too). And then there's hurricane season. Yeah, that's a lot of fun--esp. this last year when I swear there was one every other week. And then the summertime heat can produce horrible thunderstorms which in turn can spawn tornadoes. My house has now been hit by lightning four times. I've lost count of the fried telephones, phones, and other electronic equipment that have been "killed". Hell, last year it fried the circuits to my garage door opener. And snow is not unknown in these parts either--although for us, it's a once every couple of years occurance, and even then, it's only going to be a couple of inches, if that. Ice storms are a little more common and much hated since they usually mean massive power outages. Anyway, I guess there are trade-offs wherever you live at.
