worst weather?

For some reason, these past few weeks in Dallas have been really rough weather-wise. It's been cold and rainy, and I feel like I haven't seen the sun in a long time (except for one day when it was in the 70s). It has been especially rough on me because I hate to wear jackets. I know it's weird, but it's just this "thing" I have.


Whenever the subject of weather comes up, people tend to make comments to me about Chicago winters and how they are the worst thing ever, how they would rather DIE than endure that weather, and how could you ever live there? etc. etc. Probably because I had to wear things like this UNDER my clothes when I went outside.

Interestingly enough, Forbes released the results of a study they did and determined the top 5 worst weather cities. Guess what city is not number one?


America's Top 5 Worst Weather Cities


1. Cleveland

Average Annual Temperature: 49.6°F

Average Precipitation: 38.7 inches

Average Snowfall: 58.9 inches


2. Boston

Average Annual Temperature: 51.6°F

Average Precipitation: 42.5 inches

Average Snowfall: 43.2 inches


3. New York City

Average Annual Temperature: 54.6°F

Average Precipitation: 49.7 inches

Average Snowfall: 28.9 inches


4. Milwaukee

Average Annual Temperature: 47.5°F

Average Precipitation: 34.8 inches

Average Snowfall: 47.5 inches


5. Chicago

Average Annual Temperature: 49.1°F

Average Precipitation: 36.2 inches

Average Snowfall: 38.2 inches


So, the next time you meet someone from Boston or New York (or Cleveland or Milwaukee), make sure you give them a really hard time about the terrible weather.
