You missed Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota
In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.
Would you happen to be somewhere near east Tennessee/north Carolina? Same exact thing happened here
Are the people in your city also famous for crashing cars into buildings at an alarming rate?
Just looked it up and apparently my state actually has a remarkably low rate of traffic deaths, so apparently we’re actually pretty good drivers
Seriously Colorado though:
“If you don’t like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes”
I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it’s a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it’s unique to where they live
It’s not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.
That saying pops up anywhere where there’s a large range of weather. Which is most places, but not everywhere.
What do people in LA say then? “Well if you don’t like the weather… Get used to it?”
Its really hard to not like the weather in LA
I don’t think I’ve ever heard this in Ontario
Down by the lake you would.
People say it abt New England, Great Lakes, the South, the Midwest. Literally everywhere I’ve lived, if you don’t like the weather… wait.
Nobody in California ever said that shit.
Having rain 3 days a year isn’t bipolar weather
A couple years ago I was back in Florida visiting my parents and I forgot how weird shit was there sometimes. About 75+ degrees outside and out of nowhere sudden hail/downpour. Hail of all different sized, one piece was like half a soft ball. Went on for maybe 60 seconds. Was long enough for me to open the door, acknowledge I could no longer see shit, and then pick up that giant piece of ice and the storm cloud passed. A bit over 2-3" of rain I emptied out of the rain gauge.
Everywhere has weird weather moments, but that one will always stand out to me.
SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.
I was going to say everywhere but San Diego. I would describe the weather there as room temperature.
NorCal here. Weather here isn’t great but it’s very predictable.
Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO…IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.
I actually moved here from Tulsa so I know very well what you mean lol. Left Tulsa 2 years ago after 15 years. I miss the thunderstorms but literally nothing else lol.
Washington has the worst drivers on the west coast.
Oregon has the best.
CA and AZ are both pretty average.
Arizona is not on the West Coast
We could be connected to the Gulf of California before too long.
“SoCal weather is so bipolar like one moment it could be hot and sunny and 10 minute drive later it could be cold and cloudy” /s
No Californian would say that. The weather is stable and nice 9 months of the year and cloudy and nice the sun the other 3.
Unless it’s a little bit too hot and too dry
Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.
There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.
I used to be a trucker. Drive everything east of the Mississippi.
Indiana has the dumbest drivers. Never have I been to a state with a lower average i.q. Idk, it might be an environmental thing, like in the water, or too many generations of cousin fucking. But something ain’t right there. They make poor choices and have a lack of self preservation.
New england the rudest, but they’re at least predictable. When they do something rude and reckless its always in pursuit of a goal. E.g. making the next exit, turn, lane ect.
The south has the most lackadaisical drivers. They just don’t give a fuck. They’re doing what they’re doing and that’s that.
The Midwest has the nicest most considerate drivers, and as a result traffic jams are far fewer, everything just flows smoother.
Texas drivers are the worst drivers in Kansas
There’s a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA’s freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it’s all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time before automobiles.
Went to Texas once. Made it to Paris, was there for a couple minutes, decided to leave after almost being involved in a fatal car crash right in front of me
California I believe has the statistically worst drivers. New York id say has the most insane but skillful enough to somehow not die drivers.

New Mexico has the worse drivers, Texas is fifth. California seems to just be average.
I find that ironic because Massachusetts drivers and New Jersey drives are the worst drivers I’ve ever seen. On the East Coast, it’s almost guaranteed that the car overtaking you doing 30 over the speed limit is going to be from one of those two states.
Call me weird but I enjoy driving in Manhattan. People drive at a reasonable pace.
Don’t be silly, no one drives in manhattan, there’s too much traffic
Never been to the east coast (that’s a goal for sure though), but I totally get that. It’s why I like driving the areas surrounding LA. People are more decisive while driving than other states up the coast. The California driver is more likely to be an asshole, yes, but one who knows what’s happening around them, makes a decision, and stick to it. My home state drives (ha) me insane with the amount of people who just seem totally checked out, either fiddling around on a cell phone or some other bullshit that shouldn’t be done while driving.
Exactly. The real pro move is driving in Montreal.
In central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.
All the drivers in my state are the worst, and all the drivers from other states are the worst too.
Here in New England we don’t talk about rain and shine, we talk about how yesterday was 60f and today it’s 17f with getting 3ft of snow.
Yeah well in [insert location] we have two seasons, winter and construction.
Construction isn’t a season where I’m at, it’s a constant. Our seasons are hot, wildfire, mudslide, and earthquake.
I’m guessing wherever you live doesn’t have lots of snow and frozen ground.
Closest we get to snow is the ash from wildfires, womp womp. Nearby mountains get snow though, so that’s nice.
Florida is hot and construction
PNW here, nope, it’s just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that’s seasonal. Rarely there’s a storm.
The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it’s about to do something crazy
It is like this in Missouri; we can have one day be 70 and the next day be below freezing. Our weather is insane because we get hit by tornados, hurricanes, floods, snow, and ice storms. These can happen in the same month sometimes. My hometown got hit by two tornados in the same month last year.
