In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.

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
Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It's the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don't know to drive.
Nah drivers in my state don't know how to drive either
Living at altitude, this is actually true. Very low atmospheric buffering. Temperature swings of 40 degrees within a few hours.
Yeah in Colorado it can be 60 degrees and sunny and snowing in the same day
"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
I have heard this almost exclusively for Florida and not any of the surrounding states. Or really I have never heard it about any other states on the Eastern seaboard.
When I lived in Daytona Beach you could count on the 3PM rainstorm.
Nah, Florida's gone from bright, clear, and sunny to "holy fuck, did we forget about a hurricane hitting land?" In the time it's taken me to go to the bathroom.
Not use the bathroom. Just getting there.

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.
Seriously Colorado though:

Yea Colorado is peak "four seasons in one day" territory sometimes
No one in the southwest say this lol
In monsoon season it's absolutely 'the forecast cannot help you. It might rain here, it might rain 50 yards away'
But they would be correct about having the worst drivers
Nobody in California ever said that shit.
Having rain 3 days a year isn't bipolar weather
Yeah but weather over there fluctuates a lot between on fire and not on fire
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.
Nah, when I say this I'm referring to when my temperature goes from (in fahrenheit) -5, to almost 50, to 10 degrees in only 4 days. Got rain one day and snow the next.
Shit, in my state we regularly have days with lows in the 20s and highs in the 70-80s.
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.
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.
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.
The real issue is being temperate enough to freeze, but not cold enough regularly to have good road maintenance or drivers experienced with ice/snow.
Well, guess it's nice to know I'm not giving away my location when I complain.
I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.
They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.
All the drivers in my state are the worst, and all the drivers from other states are the worst too.
In central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.
