Rainy Days

I come from briton and would like to know if it rains alot in britonia ive seen the system on the micrsofts site. and it looks a god awfull place, im not upset about this as i live about 30 miles from Leeds,its in the northern part of briton and it rains alot up here. so where do you all hail from? I Went to florida last year it was so nice and warm i didnt want to come back, oh well thats life.

I think only New London and Leeds are so polluted that it acid rains a lot. Other planets like Cambridge are more or less unpolluted.

US here.

Currently in Blacksburg, Virginia, and the weather is damn depressing here.

I'm from Cambridge, England and it is 12.15 am and bloody freezing here!

Northeastern US,just had a Blizzard yesterday can't go anyway now though to cold too much snow & my area hasn't been plowed yet with the 30'' that we got.

I live about 25 miles (60km) from New York City. Had to dig out of 2 feet (55cm) of snow yesterday and this morning, and had to leave work early because of my backache.

I guess they didn't have room for environmentalists on any of the ships. Leeds is a smog zone, most systems have huge junk fields, much of it radioactive. New Berlin has probably the worst climate though, light for 6 months, dark for the other, and even in sunlight it's freezing cold.

HAHAHA Florida is only nice and warm for the tourists. Right now I have to admit that we have some beautiful weather. Come summer though, whoa baby! We may only get into the 90s but the humidity will suck the life out of you, and if the humidity doesn't get ya those rotten mosquitoes will. About the rain....yeah they call us the sunshine state but during the summer I would bet you that 6 out of 7 days in the week we will get our daily 2:30pm thunderstorm. The result of having 2 converging sea breezes. Plus the rain here isn't the nice cool the place down rain, its the rain that reminds you of the definition of humidity. When you sweat and it's humid out, it doesn't roll down your skin. It just sits there making you feel uncomfortable. This may be a little bit harsh though, I'm sure I would enjoy Florida if visiting, but living here all your life certainly doesn't help you like it any more. The beaches are cool though.

Edit: Oh man! I would love to see some snow right now. I guess this is a case of hating what you have and loving what you don't. hehe

I hope that's not the case with Freelancer.

Heck no, I'm loving it. The only problem is that my homework has suffered badly. I may have to pull an all nighter tonight for all the fun I had this weekend. Oh well, I guess I just need to get my priorities straight and budget my time.

Shark, you Do have your priorities staright. Concentrae all efforts on Freelancer and THEN if you have some freetime you can work on your homework Man do I wish this is how it really was in the real world.

i just got done spending 2 years in north lauderdale. Summers there aint nearly as bad as winters in Michigan.

Post Wed Feb 19, 2003 10:41 am

I'm living in The Netherlands (near Amsterdam) and the weather is depressing as always


I guess they didn't have room for environmentalists on any of the ships


Heh he, to bad, because it would be very funny to see a freighter floating around planets like Leeds which says "Greenpeace" and it has all kinds of banners and stuff hanging out

@Boscoe + @Rheinland.

Yup. Snow. All over the place.

Closed everything else, but I still had to go in.

Having lived in Upstate NY for as long as i have, I've just gotten used to the fact of life that you'll have to dig yourself out in the morning.

Kinda retentive, but if you know there's a big one coming in and you don't have a garage, just throw a garbage bag over your windshield. Lot easier to see first thing in the morning, also saves your wiper blades from getting destroyed by freezing to the windshield.

I live near Exeter, Devon in the UK. Hardly ever snows down here and the summers are nice however for the rest of the year its bloody cold and wet. I originally came from Kent in the SE of England and was only 11 miles from London. Guess i'll be hanging around New London then
