Driving on the highway with the thunder

I don't drive, I prefer walking around as long as it's not tornadic weather or I'll sit out on my deck where's it's positioned perfectly so that the trees are all to the side and you have this amazing view of the sky and I'll just watch the show for a while. It's very relaxing.

I haven't had a good storm with lightning in a few years, unfortunately... We're going through a massive drought. I want to watch a storm.

Well, the drought is bound to end eventually and then you'll have your rainstorm. And if you become too impatient, travel somewhere not too far, not too code and watch it there.

I would go to Canada, because that's where I would like to live. But it's a bit too cold for that. Maybe somewhere on the east coast will have it.

Probably. The Smokies are beautiful and I tremendously recommend visiting and the areas around always seem to have thunderstorms, as do the areas actually in the smokies but it's harder to see the lightning there.

The Smokies? Where is that? I've never heard of it.

It's a mountain range in the United States. It's usually called the Appalachian Mountains but they're also called the Smokies.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Yeah, I'll have to take a trip there at some point.

I'm not old enough to drive but when we have to go to the store or something and it's raining I LOVE it. We also sit out on the porch and watch it too like you said.

Yeah, rain is great. Snow is also pretty awesome. Although, I don't think I've seen a thunderstorm when it's cold enough to snow.

Well, winter isn't really the season for thunderstorms. Every other season we have thunderstorms, but not many in winter (where I live, at least).

Yeah, which is too bad. A thunderstorm with snow would probably be pretty cool.

I LOOVE snow. I love the hot and I love the cold. I live in a super hot and dry place and I love it but I was born in Colorado so I also love the snow and the cold. It almost never snows here though so when it does I spend all day outside. It snows about once every couple years and when it does it's only like an inch maybe less so all snowmen, snowballs, and snow angels are muddy.

I know what you mean... but I hate the heat, I really hate the heat. I love the cold, though. I haven't built a snowman, snowball, or snow angel muddy or not in over 4 years.

How come you haven't done any of that in a while? Is it hot where you are too?

Yeah, it doesn't get cold enough to snow unfortunately. Although, because of global temperatures going haywire recently, it might. It was cold enough to snow last year, but it didn't... We don't get much rainfall either.

Haha yes. Weather has been crazy here lately too. It's been SO COLD. Everyone down here is used to the temperature being in the 90's and 100's but this past week it's been down in the high twenties and low thirties so we've all been freezing but it hasn't snowed.

Oh really? It never gets that cold around here. At the coldest part, during nighttime it's only like 35-38. But nobody is used to it, so I see everyone walking around in giant coats and I have a t-shirt, haha.

Haha yeah! Idk why lately but it's been getting really cold! It NEVER gets that cold. The weather has been weird. In the day time in the winter it's usually about on the high sixties or low seventies but that only lasts for like two months and then it gets warmer and up to the eighties, nineties, and one hundreds. By the way just in case I think I should say that I'm using Fahrenheit.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. The weather around here during winter at daytime is probably high fifties and low sixties. But summertime is a lot like that, reaching eighties, nineties and hundreds... and a lot of the time it goes up to 110, which is almost unbearable. Yeah, haha I would hope so. Because if you're referring to Celsius, and it's at the boiling point of water during the day, I would suggest moving, haha.

Haha I just wanted to make sure :P

Well, if I was in Canada or Europe I might have actually originally thought you were referring to Celsius.

Haha. I don't even understand why we use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. It's silly :P but I didn't think we should switch now. We've gone this far so we might as well keep it this way.

Yeah, it is kind of silly. I don't know why either, because Fahrenheit has weird numbers. 32 for freezing of water, and 212 for boiling. It's so much easier to say 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling. Also the metric system is much easier than the system we have here.

Exactly. We have to remember all these different numbers when there's the metric system and Celsius where you can remember 0, 10, 100, and 1000 and pretty much be good. We make things way to complicated :P

Yeah, we really do make things complicated. It is much easier to remember round, good numbers like that. However, we decided to make things complicated because that's what we do.
