In 1977, it snowed in the Bahamas.. now figure the chill of 75 mph winds in Buffalo that year. IIRC, that was only the second year in recent history that snow accumulated on the ground in the SF Bay Area. It happened again in the 90's. Austin, it rains for what seems like maybe a month, if that. The new normal is 50/50 snow angels late Jan or early Feb. Austin doesn't have the humidity of HTX, San Anton, or Corpus. You can breathe in the summer without it feeling like lava in your lungs in NYC, DC, New Orleans, or the gulf coast in S. America. The perception of amount rain in Austin is much less than in the Bay Area. In the Bay Area, there are many annoying dribbles of almost rain like the clouds have an enlarged prostate. The southwest has charm but it's no place to live because it's right in the middle of a forecasted climate shift to endless desert. If people don't have water, they'll either a. spend stupid money competing to attain it or b. move like climate-displaced farmers from S. America, the Middle East, Asia, and Iberian and Mediterranean Europe. It's not rocket science, it's climate science. It was 87 F today in Austin. It was glorious. Of course the flying and crawling things were all out like they just discovered air and sun. I have a ladybug wandering around my apartment that won't leave. Maybe a $3k rent bill (their share) will scare them off?
