Very nice. However we have about three continuous months of very humid 30C+ days in Summer.

Considering the internet is global and it's not winter throughout the world, how is this relevant to an operating system news site?

For the record, I drove to the shop with the roof down and a t-shirt on this morning.Edited 2009-02-22 12:34 UTC Sun, 22 Feb 2009 12:28:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (gedmurphy) Comments RE: Winter?? http://www.osnews.com/thread?350188 http://www.osnews.com/thread?350188 I'm into the fourth month of cold, where it's unpleasant to be outdoors. Technology has allowed humans to live where they don't belong. I fear the day when my forced air heating fails and stops pumping warm air into my house, to keep me from freezing.

Hurry Spring!

I'm quite jealous. We have about -20C in the winter, +25 to +30 in the summer..

For the record I love the winter as well... living in Tucson, AZ we get more desert than anything, unless we go up Mt. Lemon, where it can be 100F in Tucson but a nice 65 up the Mt.

Here's my addition to the "beautiful snow covered mountain" pics:

The trees, rooftops, and mountains look a lot like what you would see here. I am almost certain that I recognize that mountain range. Although it's entirely possible that it's in Colorado as well. Hopefully he clues us in.Edited 2009-02-23 13:17 UTC Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (JoeXC0re) Comments RE[3]: Where is this? http://www.osnews.com/thread?350284 http://www.osnews.com/thread?350284 Yes, It's Salt Lake City.

I can confirm, however, that the vast majority of OSNews readers do, in fact live in the temperate region of the northern hemisphere. So it's tyranny of the majority.

Democracy ;) .

Now I see I was wrong.

Anyway, David's right-- this is the Salt Lake City region (specifically West Jordan, though that means little to most people).

For the record, the weather is getting much nicer this week. I'm definitely looking forward to Spring. Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:21:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (weildish) Comments RE[3]: Where is this? http://www.osnews.com/thread?350375 http://www.osnews.com/thread?350375

Well, I wasn't even sure what continent you were on, it's always nice to have some background ;) .

Me too. I'm fed up with this cold, rainy wheather over here (= Netherlands).
