hey everyone!
As you may have read, I've been having some trouble with the humidity in my area. I brought it up to my Hubby that I'm getting tired of these summers & though it might be a HUGE change, maybe we could consider moving somewhere with less humidity. He didn't object, though he was shocked...
We agreed to do some research & then if we come up with something, maybe we could take a vacation there & see what it's like....
So, I was wondering what's the weather like in your area all year?
I'm lookin for low humidity & there needs to be some snow also for my hubby.
Appreciate any responses!!

I live in the L.A. area which is too crowded, but if you can afford it (and who can these days) the San Diego area is beautiful and mild all year long. I'd move there in a heartbeat if we were looking to move.

San Diego! That would be my dream place..same temp all year round! We leave in Pennsylvania. Our summers are sometimes humid some days and some days not. It's very unpredictable. This summer the humidity has been pretty bearable. Some summers it's not. We do get snow and lately the last few years not too, too much of it. PA is kinda boring though if you are used to a city in California. All in all the East Coast can offer you a variety of seasons!

Temperatures during the warm months range from 45-50 degrees at night up to the 80's during the day. Winter temperatures range from the high 40's to minus 50 degrees chill factor. Here we are high, dry, and windy. We get less than 7 inches of rain during the year, and the average wind speed is 18 mph which blows the snow to Nebraska.
Sage brush grows well, horses run free, and city folks stay indoors. At 7000 feet you can be snowed on in May and June. If you like sun, wind, and stars, and being alone with your family, and riding 3 days on open range and seeing not one other person then sw Wyoming is the place to be.
Now saying all at that ... Salt Lake City, Jackson Hole, Steamboat are only 3 hours away once you get to the highway.

Forget about New York. It's the concrete jungle and concrete really absorbs heat, as well as the buildings so Summers are tortorous! If it were legal to walk around with a machete, you would be able to slice into the humidity from hell to make yourself a pathway. Argh!

As a San Diegan I can attest to the mild tempertures....but this summer has been very humid. From August through October when the Santa Ana winds blow it get so dry you can barely breathe at times.
If you live near the beach or downtown most of the days are cool and cloudy.....but if you live inland like me, the sun shines most of the day....in the summer it's brutal, temps usually in the 90's-100's.
I grew up in Pa and am used to the humidity... when people say "it's a dry heat" here in San Diego, I dont really know the difference....heat is heat  and it's hot!
Have you tried a dehumidifier in your home? That may be worth looking into. I had to get a humidifier when the humidity dropped below 15 here.
Good luck and I hope you find an answer

I live in Rockford, Illinois. We have all four seasons here. I'd say summer is the most unpredictable. It's been hot & humid this year, and very wet in the last week, too. However, it's not as hot & humid as I remember Virginia.
We definitely get snow in the winter. Amounts of course vary.
I live about 90 minutes west of Chicago and 90 minutes south of Madison, WI, so I'm close enough to more metropolitan areas than Rockford. The weather's not my favorite (favorite would be either Michigan or Wisconsin), but it's tolerable and doesn't wreak too much havoc on my IBS.

I do NOT recommend Maryland if your looking for someplace not hot and humid. This summer has been extremely muggy and high temperatures. And wacky weather too -- a week ago it was 100 degrees, ridiculously humid, and tons of wind. It felt like hair dryers blowing in your face!  However, I'm originally from New England, and I would recommend that over MD because its not nearly as hot or humid. Plus, there's tons of snow up there, particularly in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Boy, do I miss winter sports sometimes  Thank goodness for AC here because otherwise I'm sure my IBS would be completely unbearable!

Hi. Well I live in Albany, NY. It's humid in the summer sometimes but it's not constant. The rest of the year- not so bad. We have all 4 seasons- Yaa!
We have snow in the winter (skiing not too far - Vt. 2 hrs.& 1-2 hrs. for NY mts.) It doesn't get too cold here either, below zero days are few & far between. The fall is beautiful. Just when you get tired of 1 season it's time for the next. If you have any questions let me know!

I live in Grand Have (West) Michigan near Lake Michigan. We have all 4 seasons here. Winters are cold with snow and a little too long for my liking. Spring is usually cool and sometimes rainy. Summer is beautiful and not too hot although we did have a hot and humid summer this year...but then again, who didn't this year!? Summer is never long enough. Fall is cool and the trees are absolutely beautiful. I love it here but the economy isn't great in Michigan right now. The housing market sucks if you're trying to sell but if you're gonna buy, nows the time!! Hope that helps.
Where do you live?
