Having grown up where the weather was dreary more than it was sunny, I really appreciated the good weather days. My home region just didn’t get a lot of go on sunny days. There was a normal mixture of clouds at the very least. And more often than not it was just sort of nasty. Plus, the winters were cold in the summers were wet. So it’s plenty of heating from the gas furnace in the winter and not enough rays of sunlight in the summer along with not much demand for air conditioning. This is why I moved to the South. For years and years, I had contemplated this move. But there were kids and a job and all that stuff to contend with. Once the kids were out on their own, I thought more and more about moving south. Now that I was divorced and on my own, I could go for a job opening whenever it became available. And that was really the best decision I’ve ever made. Now I’m in a place where there are far more days of full sunshine than there aren’t. And that makes me super happy. Sure, the summer had a lot of air conditioning demands due to heat. But that’s really for only four months of the year. And the only time you really have to be inside the cooling air is during the peak heating hours of the afternoon. However, I have a sunroom with a ductless heat pump that allows me to enjoy the sunshine while still getting plenty of air conditioning when it’s hot.
