re: It is too damn hot

It can stay warm all year. I hate the cold.

Should cool off around Thanksgiving. Maybe slight warmup after that. But mid December the pattern looks to flip to a colder pattern.

You want to talk about shitty weather.. Central & Western Oklahoma's hot as balls in the summer (though not near as humid as the coastal SEC country) and we always get that stretch in August / Sept. where it can get over 100 degrees for two weeks straight thanks to a heat dome.

Fall weather may last 3 weeks if we're lucky. By 'fall' I mean 60 - 75 degree weather. Winters here are just awful and depressing, we get occasional snow but otherwise cold and windy as shite with the occasional sub-zero artic blast. And ice storms, can't forget the ice storms. Spring weather lasts a month but wind chill makes a 60 degree day feel like 40 degrees. Tornadoes peak during the transition from spring to summer.

My main requirement for choosing where we live when I retire: mild weather, all 4 seasons, NOT retardo-windy.

I lived in Houston before I lived in NOLA.
In Houston I learned to count fall weather by days rather than by weeks and months were unheard of and unimagined.

There was one small maple tree on a fence line near our office that turned a lovely and appropriate shade of red the first week of December every year. That was it for fall color.
