We don't get any type of "fall" just a few short weeks of autumn... after months of scorching hot sun and summer!! :D

[QUOTE="Empty Loot, post: 1566936, member: 21459"]I moved a little over a year ago to Lincoln. Surprisingly there is quite a climate difference, which I should have expected from moving several hundred miles but still keeps me surprised.[/QUOTE]
I moved 600 miles north and the temp difference is only like 5 degrees or so. But there's snow here so that's cool.

[QUOTE="VG_Addict, post: 1567003, member: 34516"]In other words, it's warm year-round for most of the south.[/QUOTE]
Not really. What I remember from living in Georgia is that it was hot and humid from late March to mid-October. After that it was cold as balls but not wet enough to snow.

[QUOTE="VG_Addict, post: 1567010, member: 34516"]It's summer 9 months in Oregon?[/QUOTE]
Nope! Summer for three months, rain for the other nine. (I used to live there, too.)

[QUOTE="VG_Addict, post: 1566909, member: 34516"]I live in Texas, where we don't get fall. It's 90 degrees today.

What is fall like, to those of you who get it?[/QUOTE]

Now imagine the crispest, freshest air you've ever breathed through your nostrils. Then just start to imagine that it's the perfect temperature, and for some reason you really crave cider all the time.

I love Fall.

Then I guess Texas is the only place that doesn't get fall.

I think it gets hot in Texas from May to mid-October.

Probably didn't get as much of fall and winter in Georgia as in Oregon.

Did you not read the 4-5 posts in this thread that said they don't get Fall either?

Reading comprehension is tech.

Humid --> cold as balls != fall
summer --> rain != fall

Summer doesn't really transition into Fall in Milwaukee. It abruptly crash-dumps into it on the equinox. On September 22nd you'll be sweating yourself inside out from the heat and humidity, and on the 23rd it'll be forty degrees and raining incessantly.

None of the trees in my neighbourhood have changed colours yet. They're all evil honey locusts that hate man and thrive on his misery.

^Really? The trees up on the North Side have been turning for a few weeks now. My drive up to school is basically all burning orange at this point.

The weather is horrendous today, though. Went to Bayshore and couldn't keep dry at all.

Yup. Everything's still green out my window. (Not a pretty green, mind you-------honey locusts look like garbage at the best of times. Definitely not autumn colours, though.)

The leaves are turning, but it's still in the 70s. I am one happy camper.

Also, pumpkin-flavored everything.
