For the first 27 years of my life I lived within a 200 mile radius in the state I was born.
I grew pretty accustomed to the way of life there, including the hard temperature.
I didn’t realize how strenuous the weather made life until I recently relocated and got a taste of a modern temperature; now I can’t believe how I used to survive under the previous conditions. The most sudden aspect is how much cash it used to cost me to keep my apartment in livable condition, because it was necessary to operate my Heating and Air Conditioning system 24/7, and you see, the variable temperature managed to hit all of the most extreme notes for each season; During the Summer time it was unbearably warm and humid, and there was no option however to run air conditioning system for half of the year, but between the months of May and November there was no escaping the moist air and pounding sun, and the only way to keep your apartment comfortable was with powerful cooling systems, however most people had central cooling units, which suck up a ton of energy to operate. There was little ventilation otherwise, so it was quite impossible not to run the A/C for weeks and months on end. The winter season was even less forgiving, with chilly temperatures and even colder wind chills. It was necessary to emplot traditional furnaces for the other half of the year, just to keep your pipes from freezing and ruining your house. Overall, the energy corporation was making a killing on all the heating and cooling implements necessary for life in the midwest.
