We have the most awful, relentless, neverending winter I can remember, and then we go straight to summer.

Yeah, but you can still catch fish in the freezing a*s cold up there. Here, the fish are a bunch of pusses and they don't bite till it's 60.

I've been in tshirt/shorts all week....70s, sunny, low humidity. We're headed to an outdoor concert tomorrow night at a local venue where we can bring our own food/booze!

I'm truly "southernized"....love the weather down here! Our neighborhood pool opens next weekend, so life is good. :D

What worries me is the wind. A 28mph wind gust will throw the fly right back in your face. Actually Sunday looks really good - that mostly cloudy/chance of rain 49 degree weather provided the wind is light is perfect for these littel blue winged and olive bodied insects(scientifically referred to Blue Winged Olives by flyfishermen) to pop out in mass quantities.

I thought they werent allowing pools in atl this summer due to the drought. Did they change that or did they haul the water in like they did for the ice rink? Or are you not in ATL like i thoguht?

You are correct....I'm in ATL...and they are allowing pools to be refilled. Our neighborhood pool isn't drained during the winter; just covered up with a tarp. We're above average for rainfall this year already, so our county (Fulton) and our city relented and we get our pools. Although, our HOA had already discussed and agreed to truck in water from TN, if necessary!

The winter was truly awful in the upper midwest this year, but even with that I couldn't take a southern climate. The suffocating heat in the summer is just as bad to me as the paralyzing cold in the winter. What I like about our summers, especially as you get into Wisco, is even if the days are hot it almost always cools down in the evenings where you can open your windows up.

Stealing our water, are you? :D

The weather here has pretty much leveled out in the mid-70s/low-80s over the past few weeks. Spring and fall are great, but I don't know if I'm looking forward to the heat of the summer.
