Re: what is the downside


You better like warm weather. If you are a fan of cold and snow you'll be disappointed or unhappy. Avg. summer temp is in the 90s. Avg. winter temp is mis 50s. There are hotter places in the U.S., such as Arizona, Vegas, NMexico, parts of CA, but they don't have the humidity that New Orleans does. The plus side is that your body does acclimate and after a year or two of living here you hardly notice the heat. You know its hot, but somehow you just don't complain. Why bother? Who would you complain to? Mother Nature? LMAOROTFL

Re: Re: what is the downside


Of course, for some people, living in warm weather is a plus. For me, I don't like cold weather, nor snow, nor biting wind chill factors. Being able to wear a short sleeve shirt in December on occasion (no kidding) is definitely a plus for me.



Also, the heat and humidity hear is no worse than say Houston, Memphis, Atlanta, St. Louis, or Kansas City for that matter. The difference being that while most of the country is in the deep freeze using their heaters, we are still enjoying mild conditions...
