The problem here is you get the heat, the sun plus a massive dose of humidity. So not only do you bake, but you stick as well... it's just all around miserable.

That said, while others are digging out of the snow, I'm teeing up a golf ball.

Yes but you don't have to scrape heat off a windshield.

Coming from New Orleans, I can deal with the humidity. What is hard to tolerate in the Ark-La-Tex is the humidity plus the century topping temps. A decade ago, we had an August where it was 100+ for over half the month.

Dry heat will do me in. I feel like I can't breathe. Give me the New Orleans "soaking wet within 30 seconds outside" summer humidity any time.
