    S: Texas Winters

    Texas freaking sucks. The winter this year was seriously about 3 weeks long. Today it was back up to 75 degrees today. I spent all this money on bad ass winter clothes and I can't even wear them. Not even the ones I got for Xmas. It didn't even get cold till December and that was like 50-60 degrees. Texas sucks. I'm moving out as soon as I graduate.

    Good for you. Don't move to San Diego if you want longer, colder winters though.

    How about Michigan? It's pretty chilly up here, although today it warmed up into the 40's...

    Never been to Michigan. I have always had my eyes set on NYC. Lived there for a time and really liked it. I used to live in California as well. I don't know, I went back last year to visit and I just didn't like it. At least not San Jose. Seattle would be a cool place too. But I guess it's wherever the job ofers come from when I graduate

    Umm.... only if you like weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks of cloudy skies and very little snow. I vote for NYC - I still might end up there myself.

    Don't worry - if I remember from my Austin days you can never plan on the weather. You'll get a nice hailstorm in April when you make outdoor plans for the winter.

    I also remember violent thunderstorms (If you remember from chat that I used to live near 24th and Rio Grande) and there was a big parking garage across the street from my apartment. Every time there was a thunderstorm everyones stupid car alarm would go off when I was trying to sleep:

    Reno would be awesome! I love that area.
