    I understand what you’re saying. I lived in a place that has all 4 seasons. I understand the hassles of snow in winter and unbearable heat in summer without ac

    I’ve since moved somewhere more temperate and I miss the 4 seasons. It’s wet, cold and wet, warm and wet, or hot and dry, interspersed with short periods of really nice weather. It’s not warm and pleasant all the time, but I’d be hard pressed to give up storms. Here, no thunderstorms. And if we get them they’re completely obfuscated by clouds (our clouds sit really low)

    I was visiting family recently and got to experience an absolutely magnificent storm and I was so incredibly happy. The last storm I saw like that was from when I visited Disney World a while ago

      I wasn’t even thinking about thunderstorms, but you’re right, I would totally miss them! My dogs hate them, but I love a good rumbly light show on a hot summer night, and the cool air that (usually) follows.

        Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.

        Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.

          i never quite understood how loud thunder could be until lightning struck my apartment’s parking lot. i grew up in earthquake land and thought that’s what was happening.
