OK, but the first time I felt what 99° was without humidity, I wanted to fight someone. It wasn't even that hot! (from Texas, not Florida, but I spent half my childhood in the piney woods, where you need gills to breathe and air movement is a myth)

[@rainbowlack]

Lol, I live in Alberta (often referred to as the Texas of Canada) and it's extremely arid here, but was born in Quebec. When I was visiting Quebec 2 years ago for a family event, I was damn near dying in my suit 😅 thankfully I brought a change of clothes so right there in that synagogue bathroom, I changed into a T-shirt and shorts... and was still dying in the heat. Quebec in the summertime taught me that nighttime doesn't always cool things down; you're still constantly slightly too sweaty and suffering, but now you can't see a damn thing; a danger considering the state of Quebec roads. When I got back to Alberta, we had a heat wave, ~32°C (somewhere in the high 80s Fahrenheit), but the humid heat had conditioned me well lol. Plus my aunt taught me about the wonders of a tower fan. Very grateful we don't have to deal with humid summers here. Sure, with humid heat, everything is much greener and brighter and you hear the lovely calls of birds and cicadas... but you constantly feel like you had to shower yesterday (even if you just showered). Dry weather isn't always the greatest; wildfire smoke in the summer means we have to keep the windows closed even during a heat wave, and winter has you itch your hands raw and bleed from your nose, but dear god humidity just intensifies things all too much.

Another 15 minutes with jacket on in the kitchen as we discussed various recipes and who actually originated my dad's potato stuffing and my mum's Stollen recipe. Then 10 more minutes because you gotta have fresh coffee for the road, of course. Which led into some convo about best rifles against wolves vs deer (parents live on a farm in rural Wisconsin).

Have your ever been out in 9° weather with no wind? It actually doesn't feel bad

[@psycomutt]

​@@liamgavinwellsThis is so true. A sunny single digit day with no wind is actually really nice.

[@evananderson1455]

It was -5 the other day with no wind and it was genuinely nice, even felt a little warm w the sun shining on my face. Then the temp rose to 28 and the wind kicked up a few days later and I was miserable outside. It really is the wind lol

I feel like you can replace "Midwesterners" with "Canadians" for just about every single one of these. Especially love the little "sorry!" to the guy behind you, even though he can't hear you. Me every day! ❤

As a former FIB, I agree with this whole video! The turn signal is a blinker. The tv remote is the clicker. We kept a snow brush propped up next to our grill to clean it off when we wanted to grill streaks or brats. Tell your folks I said Hi!

Years ago, I got into my car to leave a shopping center & two women sitting across the parking lot in their car aggressively gave me the middle finger - both really making a point of it. I'm sitting there staring at them thinking, "What the H*ll did I do to these two...?"
