Too hot…

We’ve been having a heat wave here in the Northeast…temps in the 90’s for four straight days. We’re getting some relief today, thank goodness.
Temps in the 90’s in June, in New England, is unseasonably hot. Usually, we don’t get temps that high here until July/August.
It could be worse, though. I remember living in Washington, DC, where it was this hot most of the summer. And Mike was once stationed in Norfolk, VA, when he was in the Navy, and he complained about the summer heat there, too.
But every place has its downsides, I guess. In the winter, we complain about the cold and the snow, and talk about how nice it would be to buy some Wilmington NC real estate, to escape having to shovel snow. I’m sure it’s just as hot, if not hotter, than it is here…but snowstorms are probably a rare thing.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if there are New Englanders who are considering moving down that way. The cost of living down south is generally cheaper than it is up here. Also, with fuel prices as they are, people are concerned about the cost of heating their homes this winter. I know I am! That expense would be reduced quite a bit, living south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
I love New England too much to leave it…in fact, I want to move a a bit further up north, to Maine, where winters are even colder than here in Massachusetts. But if others want to make the choice to move to a place that might save a lot of money, I can’t blame them.
