Fuck Summer

LuckyDad

I know Summer is technically officially over in about six hours for most of you, but it's lingering here.

It's too goddamn hot. Summer is like that friend who gets really drunk at a party. You miss them when you haven't seen them in a while. You're excited when you hear you'll see him and are excited when he arrives. At first you have a blast.

Then he just lingers and gets less fun and more annoying. At this point Summer is just that drunk party guest that won't take a hint and go home.

Go Home, Summer! You're drunk! Bring on Early Fall (but Winter with it's 8 hours total of daylight can stay away kthanx)

It's a perfect 78 degrees here. It was close to 100 all last week and most of the weekend, though.

MintBerryCrunch

Amen. I live in FL though. I've been over summer since April when it was fucking 90 already. Its still too hot to go to the beach here. I'm over FL in general though so the heat just makes it that much worse. Go away summer, I hate you in general.

Summer? What is this nonsense?

I will say I live in a state where people think it's hot and turn their AC and wear shorts at 75.

I bought my favorite leaves candle today at bath and body works. I hate summer. Oklahoma heat no thanks

I'm sorry, LD, but don't you live in SD?

You don't know summer, bro.

LaurelBee

My fall wardrobe sucks.

NotSharknado

Can not wait for fall. I'm already planning my thanksgiving menu.

CinemaGoddess

It's summer for three more weeks. 

Sorry, LD.  I'm so so sorry.  

NotSharknado

FFFC? I don't mind the fall back time either. I'm cool with it being dark.

NotSharknado

I also plan on experimenting with pumpkin this year.

Fuck summer.

You're really not that sorry

True story.  

mydixiewrecked

I'm in Southern AZ. What is this cooler weather/fall you all speak of? It won't cool off here until the beginning of November.
:-L

CinemaGoddess

I take issue with Nana's assessment of the situation. 

Most Seattlites don't have AC, except in their cars, so when it's 75 outside, it's like 80-85 inside with only a box fan or a Pinterest-DIY swamp cooler to keep you cool.   That doesn't even take into account living in a concrete jungle where it gets even hotter by 5PM because concrete.  So there's nowhere but your car or the mall or the casino or a rare restaurant with AC to cool off.  Forget about going to the waterfront because it's overrun with tourists who just stand there, all slack jawed, looking up at the Space Needle, oblivious to the fact they're standing 4 abreast on the sidewalk when all you want to get is a fucking snocone from the snocone dude.  

Then it rains and it's muggy when you wake up and it's just horrible.  

I can't wait for fall because then the rain will be legit rain, not fucking summer rain.  I hate that shit.

Seriously? I can deal with fall, but winter depresses the ever lovin shit out of me. I can not deal with the dark all the time, it is such a hassle to go anywhere. I hate socks, boots, coats, sweaters. I want to live in dresses and sandals. I don't want to get all wet and sloppy every time I walk out the door. I HATE the salt that ends up all over my entranceway. I think you people are seeing winter with rosé colored glasses because you're hot.

CinemaGoddess

It doesn't snow here, so it doesn't really get much cooler than, like, 35-40 degrees for most of the winter. 

I prefer winter because it's easier to get warm than it is to cool off.  

jorkz821

We didn't even have that hot of a summer up here but I'm already done.

missyishere

Winter talk? Lez not get ahead of ourselves now.

I have no idea what Summer is like Seattle. However, everyone I know here has AC or at least those big ole room AC dehumidifier things. It also is not that muggy and or hot compared to Buffalo or PA. So.... I guess it just doesn't bother me. Thats one of the reasons I like it here. Is that we get a coule days of it in the 90's, but summer is mostly in the 70's to 80's and the humidity isn't constant like on the east coast.

Summer in Seattle is the same as summer in Bremerton, except you get the cloying odor of decomposing seaweed more often.  

I know very few people who have AC in their homes, mostly because of the cost to run the damn thing.  The people who do have AC are happy to use it during the summer but then bitch about the $500 electricity bill.  

Compared to the East coast? Yeah, it's not as bad.  But don't downplay it, yo.  It gets bad here when you don't have AC.

I always forget about not having AC. My moms house was always terrible before they got their AC thingy. I lived in my basement with a box fan. I loved moving in here cuz we had central air.

It doesn't snow in Seattle? Really?

Like we get a good snow every year. Thats usually about it. Some years there's a couple more storms, but snow stays in the foothills and mountains. Something to do with the rain shadow here in Western Washington and the sea air.

CinemaGoddess

Not often.  We get a few flakes here and there, but rarely any measurable amount.  The majority of the snow hits the suburbs.  

Where we used to live, we could easily get 6-7 inches in one storm, while in Seattle proper, they would have a trace, if anything, from the same storm. 

Convergence zone, FTW! (That's where the warmer air from Hawaii clashes with the cooler air from Alaska/Canada and results in snow.  It usually happens at the King/Snohomish county line.)  

MelissaRae1525

Another Floridian here. Hush.

NotSharknado

Chicago here and winter still doesn't bug me.

wiggyslilsis

I'm in WA. Not in Seattle and I agree with Nana. I am a heat lover so I am definitely in the wrong state. Anyway everyone I know has a window AC unit that they pull out in June to use for like 2 days and then it doesn't get hot again until mid July. I could definitely use some more nice days. I am notready for the 8 months of overcast and rainy.

wiggyslilsis

Oh and it also gets cold at night as in 50s-60s so it takes most of the day to get to hot.

CinemaGoddess

Where the shit do you people live that everyone has AC?

For serious.  I've lived here 37 years and I still know only a handful of people with legit AC.  

nanabanana06

The suburbs? I dunno. I think it's becoming more common. We've always had AC until mom bought the house in Bremerton.

I live in VA, where the humidity is easily 100% any given day. I need 68 degrees and fall colors, stat!

@motherofpearl85 That makes me sad.

bulbasaur359

Ya summer is an asshole. But I live where there's no snow and rain only in fall/winter. Actually, just moved from so cal to nor cal at the beginning of the month and looking forward to more rain. I hate being hot. It makes me feel sick.

That is rough. I'm sorry. And yes, mom's groups are strange and awkward. I hope you're able to make some new friends soon!

Nita2603

One of the reasons I like Ottawa is that we have real seasons. Hot summers and snowy, cold winters, and fall and spring a lovely too.

Summer wasn't that great this year though.

Nita2603

Also, what @luckydad said about summer...that's how I feel about winter usually. By the beginning of February, I am mostly over it - and that is when it usually gets really good around here.

LoveActually4

I'm in Canada on the frigging freezing ocean. I'll take all the summer I can get.

Whenigrowup

I hate the weather in the summer, but as a teacher, I love summer. Heat blows though. I have a history of passing out in the heat. Now that I am back at work I am outside more than ever, with recess, track time, and after school duty. I got a freaking sunburn at work last week. I am in Texas, so we are averaging 100 in the afternoon. I hate it.
