If it's as impossible to dress appropriately as it is here, it probably is.


Remind me of living in Munich, out in the English garden in March, laying around with kit off as it was really sweltering hot, a week later freaking snow. Wonderful summers but freezing cold winters (but at least a dry cold and the alpes nearby so great skiing), been to Graz a lot lately (nice corner of Austria with the best smallest airport ever, they don't even blink an eye if your luggage is 10 kilos more because you bought too much of the delicious local wine, quite tart but the rose is to die for) and they seem to have it even more extreme, they regularly go from bikini to heavy coats all in the span of a few days (usually March and April) but damned, do they have great skiing!

Considering that you lived in a few different areas in the US, I'm sure in California you didn't have much troubles in March, I just had a peek at your journal and it said Bakersfield (unless somebody moved it without telling me, very much California), now how surprising that you didn't have to slog through snow storms, my experience of CA is limited to LA, SF, Ventura and Santa Barbara, March there tends to equal June/July in the UK, so far I can't report any problems getting around or being hampered by snow storms in the summer. But my reaction regarding even winter snow here is usually "You call that snow? Can't even build a proper snow man..."

Status: offline 		here in NE, march is an odd duck -- winter refuses to give up and spring's a bit limp-wristed and will let winter slap it around. =p i had a snow removal job over the last winter (nightmarish but it paid well! =p) and we had a bit of work left in march. we get cold snaps all the way into april, really. (it's what stunted my poor little tomatoes =p)

in KS, where i lived most of my life, well that area would either be influenced by the south, or by the north -- but in general, it was a bit milder there. by the time march arrived, you kinda knew that winter was on its way out; even if it cooled down, spring and summer there weren't quite the pushovers they are up here. =p

out east in VA, by march, things were fine and dandy. =p we lived in the coast, and i remember kids there being more bamboozled by winter than anything -- they'd come to school in big sweaters and tiny shorts and flip flops, and whine about being cold. =p by march, the big sweaters would be gone.

it really depends on where you are. the US has a huge variety of climates.

Never spent much time in PA, but would assume that the climate is fairly similar to NYC? Which is basically almost identical to Munich, with the little difference of the seasons being one month behind in NYC. So Munich August would be NYC September. Few years ago I did a contract in NYC for 3 months, left Munich in a snow storm in early Jan, came to NYC where it was freezing and miserable as well but more wet, then it was just hammering down snow for the next 3 months or hail, when I flew back in the mids of the most horrible weather, I arrived in Munich to sunshine and I almost perished from a heat stroke on the subway home... It's kinda odd how the climate is pretty much the same with just that 1 month delay... Though I have to say the most cold and horrendous winter weather seems to be reserved for Chicago, could freeze the balls off a brass monkey...

Status: offline 		Try going to Chicago in the winter month, it's freezing! Beautiful city but in the winter it's seriously hell frozen over, a local explained that the proximity to the Michigan lake is responsible for it...

As a useless bit of info, they also found a Viking ship (or several, don't recall exactly) around the Michigan lake, if you think about those dragon ships and how early that was, a freaking marvel, and some of the South American legends about Gods appearing that were "golden" makes sense, while not all Nordic races are blonde, a lot of light and red haired people there. For example on my mom's side the family is from Northern Italy, a lot of them blonde with the red hair skipping one generation and usually only affects the girls (thanks so much for that ancestors), dad's family is Swedish, most of them dark haired with blue eyes (very Celtic), now if you look at Italy's history, not only the occasional attack from the Moors but also lots of Vikings, and for some odd reason I think rape, plunder and pillage was a common sport for invading armies...

Considering that you lived in a few different areas in the US, I'm sure in California you didn't have much troubles in March, I just had a peek at your journal and it said Bakersfield (unless somebody moved it without telling me, very much California), now how surprising that you didn't have to slog through snow storms, my experience of CA is limited to LA, SF, Ventura and Santa Barbara, March there tends to equal June/July in the UK, so far I can't report any problems getting around or being hampered by snow storms in the summer. But my reaction regarding even winter snow here is usually "You call that snow? Can't even build a proper snow man..."

The bigger problem was really fog.  Going to Fresno and back could be hideous for viability on the return trip in the wee hours of the morning.  (One of the very reasons we were in Bakersfield more often.)  It really isn't much more than hills through the desert with a road going through it, so when it does rain, those little country roads make for a much longer trip.

The one snow that we had while living in CA would have been a complete joke if it hadn't been for a couple of problems.  Like I said earlier, no snow removal for roads.  The one time it happened, folks were trying to get the white stuff off of the pavement with brooms.  The other part is, no matter how good you are at driving in it, if everybody else on the road is clueless, they've already got fender benders everywhere tying the lanes up. 

I think it was Arpig that was saying earlier that snow is very relative to where you live.  When you're in an area that you're used to dealing with it regularly, you don't let it slow you down for a social engagement.

Another thing to account for is how many natives you have in a location and how many transplants.  A place like Colorado Springs, CO, for example, you would think would be just fine.  Anybody who's lived there will tell you it's really, really not.  There's a huge military influence there (Ft Carson, Peterson AFB, and the Air Force Academy) so at any given time you have tons of folks with license plates from TX, CA, and FL who don't have a clue of how to drive in the white stuff.

One of our problems is people who through stupidity or too much confidence don't slow down in driving conditions where a lower speed is the smart thing to do. We've had a lot of freezing rain in recent winters and I can't tell you how many times the bus/car I was in passed some idiot who wrapped his/her car around a poll because they drove at normal speeds.

It is pretty close to NYC.  Yes.   The Susquehanna Valley.   Up in the higher elevations-  colder and more snow- tho not as bad as Chicago.  :-)
