<p>Dang, that’s worse than us down here. It actually freezes down here.</p>
<p>Personally, I love the south. Love the hot weather, I can live in most hot climates.</p>
<p>Southern food, BBQ, good football.</p>
<p>Southern men, polite people…</p>
<p>Snow is awesome for a few days in the winter… I wouldn’t want it all the time. Heh, where I live when there is a risk of 2 inches of snow the entire township shuts down, grocery stores are bought out of canned goods, and the schools all close.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I see that all the time. People are pretty proud of that heritage. From their point of view, the North was no less racist than the South, they just had a good PR team and took the moral high ground in a war that was really about other issues.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>SoCal is about third on my list of places I would not want to live, after Chicago and New York.</p>
<p>2 inches? We call that March in Chicago. Lol. Seriously though, it snows, we get the plows out, and life goes on. It sucks because my school doesn’t shut down for shxt.</p>
<p>We have the confederate flag where I live more than the US flag. Granted, most of those who sport it don’t even know the history behind it lol.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Heh, we have a 10 minutes drive IN to town.</p>
<p>I prefer the North. Having all four seasons, hot summers, cool springs and fall, and cold winter is ideal for me. Having one season would be weird for me.</p>
<p>^ There are four seasons in most of the South. Florida, which isn’t the South, has two: Downpour and Sunshine. Where I live the seasons are Mud and Mud, with occasional Dust.</p>

<p>It’s been freakin cold here this year. By the beaches it was in the low 70s and high 60s and overcast for most of the summer. It suckedddddd. Right now it’s probably 65. Normally it’s in the 90 or 80s this time of year. El Nino and La Nina have really screwed up our weather. </p>
<p>And don’t call it SoCal, it makes you sound like a tool.</p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, living by the beach is pretty cool. For those of you that get your idea of Southern California and Orange County being like they are in the shows, then I pitty you. It would suck to live in LA or inland though. Especially out near San Bernadino. That’s why I don’t understand you people want to go to those Claremont schools. The location sucks. Same goes with USC- it’s in the freakin ghetto.</p>
<p>Fgump must be high, because I remember it snowing pretty hard February this year (and we got school off woot), and we live in the same state…</p>
<p>I’d find Southern California bland. At least Georgia is bipolar in it’s weather, and we have variation.</p>
<p>Lots of ignorance on here. I’ve lived all over the world and all across the country, and the south is as good as it gets. Most people here from the north who have preconceived stereotypes in their minds are either stupid, incredibly naive, or blatantly prejudiced.</p>
<p>^^ Maybe in the northern part of the state, cause down here, it never snows. Ever.</p>
<p>It snows here once-twice a year. And we have ice-storms about once a year.</p>
<p>By the way… whoever said that the south has one season… you’re very wrong. South Carolina (where I live) has four seasons. We have summer in which it’s 90-100+ in July-early September. We have fall in which it’s 60-90 from September-October. We then have winter from November-February. It is typically around 20-60 during that time. And yes. It snows here. Maybe not as much as you’re used to… but it is very visible on the ground. In fact, it usually snows in March. We’ve had everything from 1/2 inch-10 inches of snow in the past 6 or 7 years. Ice storms take the power out for as much as 2-3 weeks.</p>
<p>But when you talk about the south and weather… it really depends on where you are. For example, in Charleston, it NEVER snows. That’s only three hours from my house… but it snows as much as 10 inches here. The weather varies so greatly that it isn’t really fair to say that the south in general has one type of weather.</p>
<p>I must say though… we know if we’re getting snow by Atlanta getting snow. Atlanta is like four hours south of here and they get a good bit of snow each year. So yeah…</p>
<p>Atlanta and the surrounding areas do get way more snow than we do down south, which is none.</p>
<p>It snowed at the homes of some of my friends in Florida last winter, so I guess it can snow in south Georgia.</p>
<p>Really? I’m telling you, it NEVER snows down here. EVER.</p>
