Ah I see. I was curious whether you got a dry season and a rainy season like the Caribbean. I watched a documentary the other day about sinkholes and how common they are in Florida! Yikes! Now that is something to keep me away LOL !
Too much of anything can be a bit much especially heat like that. Here is it the opposite. I am so sick of dull,wet and cold. It gets to be to much sometimes when all you want is a little sunshine and warmth.
We shoud holiday swap!
I love the places you are considering to move to. Good luck deciding!
I completely agree. LOL It's actually why we (my parents and I) ended up moving to Florida when I was younger, because they were both originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and were so sick of driving and shoveling snow, they bailed for warmer climates.
I totally understand why adults in the north can't stand January and February. Same reason most southerners dread July and August. LOL They're the worst months of the year meteorological-ly speaking.
About the dry season versus rainy season... it's rainy from March through the beginning of mid November. Hurricane season is June 1st through November 30th. Though we've seen bad hurricanes in December too. The one which flooded our home that I lost that Christmas album to hit the day after Christmas. Then it's usually quite dry from the beginning of December, through the end of February. Quite rare to have rain now. They'll start issuing burn bans by the beginning of February.
Sink holes.... yes, they're awful. Actually has most to do with the fact that our population has grown beyond the capacity of the natural aquifer. The geological base of Florida is limestone. It's porous and when it dries it become brittle. Most of south Florida actually no longer has a natural water reservoir of consumable water. So they pipe the water to south Florida in from north Florida. Most residents are completely unaware of this. They just assume, they turn on the faucet and it came from a local water piping facility. As the limestone decays it become brittle and collapses. Thus random sinkholes. Most of the 60s, 70s and beginning 80s, central Florida had numerous phosphate strip mining pits. Once dug out completely and no longer producing, they backfill them, let it set for 20 years, then sell it to developers for homes. That too is porous and lacking any real structure. It leads to more sinkholes and surface/environmental toxins.
Okay... Sorry. ROFL ... I'm having the Cuba Gooding Jr moment from As Good As It Gets. He gets upset with Jack Nicholson's character , claps his hands, regains his composure, adjusts his tie, turns around and essentially skips back to the party saying, "Party!" LOL
Sooooo - "Party!"
She's too cute!!
