Exactly! I feel like I've been cheated this year - fall is by far my favorite weather wise and we went almost straight from boiling hot to ice cold. My garden is a big picture of brown and ugly and it was once colorful and blooming

You get so few days of truly temperate weather here. Just because there's lots of sun doesn't mean that it's paradise weather wise. This is the land of extremes.

There are a lot of days in the 60s and 70s, they are just not all together, but sprinkled throughout the 'winter' .

That's why I prefer spring, it seems to be a more gradual increase from freezing to broiling. You usually get a couple months of really perfect weather where it gradually warms. The fall is a mixed bag.

I'll take! Much better than that nasty rainy and 40's/50's crap we had.

Admittedly I've never really felt the humidity here that everyone complains about but I came here from Atlanta so to me this doesnt really feel that bad.

Does the google box not have weather information?

You should not move to Austin. It's far too cold for you and will likely get too hot in the summer for you too. Winter overnight temperatures are regularly in the 30s down to 20s. We occasionally get ice storms and snow. Temperatures in the teens are not unheard of. Try Phoenix.

I have major SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and even Destin FL is too cold for me at night. Its not just daylight, its the actual ‘feel’ of cold that makes me very depressed. In the summer I’m happy all season! I tried Hawaii but it was actually hotter than FL with the sun being more intense despite lower temps and also NO ONE HAS A/C (bc of energy costs). So FL is too cold and HI is too hot... I cant win. I wanna stay south because its the only place to find “southern charm” (although Lake Tahoe has that surprisingly, but wayyyy too cold in winter). Miami and Naples and Key West stay warm but there is no southern charm there, I dunno if St Pete stays warm and has southern charm? I love the beach but I love music too so Austin is drawing me, I wonder if the parks make up for lack of beaches? Its a loaded question but feel free to respond or suggest somewhere else too, I will be carless for a good year probably after moving so keep that in mind in regards to walking home safely at night and having sidewalks. I dont mind 2mile walk to work and back home though. Thanks!!!
Austin isn't for you... keep looking....
