Oh I hate driving through summer T-storms, damn rain cools the windshield so quick I gotta run the defrost on full heat to keep the thing from fogging, it gets hot as hell inside the cab - can't open side windows cause I'll get wet, rear slide is open all the time and provides some ventilation but really without at least the wing windows even that don't help the situation much at all.

75 degrees and 58 percent humidity (usually single digit humidity-but it is going to rain possibily) in the Denver,Colorado area. The low humidity makes for almost no flying insects. It is possible to drive at night and hardly have any bugs hit the windshield!!

Life is good at 5800 feet elevation! The down side is that engines lose 15 percent horsepower at this altitude! Still getting down to 40 degrees temperatures in the Rocky Mountains above 10000 feet + at night!

That ain't no lie...we've had triple digit a few times this year, with VERY low humidity, still don't have the A/C on in the house. No need for it.

We've been hitting the mid to upper 60s at night, which makes for good sleeping. Living in high desert is much different than the crap I lived with in Ohio.

107 degrees with 60% humidity. It's hard not having the A/C working.
Unpredictable weather down here in south tx. It was a clear sky and then it started raining. To top it off we were barely firing up the grill then rain extinguished the fire lol.

I have been living in a house without AC for 19 years up here and only miss the AC about 5 weeks out of the year! Really dont need AC in houses up here.

But then-you guys in the flat lands back East don't get 40 inch snow storms neither! But it is fun using the old 92 F150 4x4 pulling out econo boxes out of the snow. It can snow 10 months out of the year up here!

That's why I keep the chain in the bed of the truck...always handy. You're a little higher elevation than I am, so you get a little more snow than we do. Last year, about two small towns over, 83" fell during a 2 day snow storm. We were lucky and only had about 48" fall on us. That was in March, I believe.

Those back east get an entirely different kind of snow than we do...theirs is a heavy, slushy snow that is debilitating at 2". The powder we get is much easier to navigate in.
