I don't know why most Americans seem to believe this. I'm sitting in my house right now sweating my ass off, and its not even noon yet. Its already 49C (120F) outside. I would be damn proud to live in an igloo today... very damn proud.
I'm an american and I haven't thought that since I was five lol.A better question is why do some canadians think americans are stupid enough to assume we think you live in igloos? Some native eskimos do live ingloos in canada!
i went on a trip to hilton head island in South Carolina, a guy grabbed his family to have a picture with the canadian.. i guess they never met one before. They wondered if i had to buy new clothes to come to the hot weather of south carolina. The look on their face when i told em i was in parallel with the north of Carolina... Anyway... ITS FRICKIN HOT!
Yeah, I've never run into any americans who thought that either but ddp also says he's run into that before.
The only Canadians who live in igloos are proabably in Nunavut. The definition of Nunavut is this: "A territory of northern Canada including part of the mainland west of Hudson Bay and north of latitude 60° north, islands in the Hudson Bay, and most of the Arctic Archipelago. Nunavut, which comprises what was formerly the eastern portion of Northwest Territories, is primarily inhabited and controlled by the Inuit. It officially became a new territory of Canada on April 1, 1999. Iqaluit, at the head of Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island, is the capital."
You guys think you got it bad? LOL try living in florida near the equator where I live.On top of it try having a dozen hurricanes each year during the summer.It suuuuucks.Maybe I wish I was in an igloo sometimes to lmao.
@tycobb...yeah, I lived in Miami for a few years 85-90. Moved there on the first of August as a matter of fact. My first summer, I would sweat so much that I'd get dizzy...like spending too much time in a sauna or something; I was o.k. the following summers though. It really is brutal there. And you know, it's a whole different kind of heat over there. You would think 98 degrees in Miami and 98 in Philly would be be the same but it isn't. Even though the humidity here can get pretty high too, it's just not the same. You know, the first time I went to Miami, I stepped out of the airport about 10:30 at night and it's the smell I remember...in the rainy season, the air has this odor like a room with a washer/dryer running. It's a unique smell. Must be the humidity, I guess.
98 degrees here in ontario, is about 120 degrees in most drier states. the humidity here is disgusting (Today)
I know exactly what your talking about.I don't know what to call it but I use "muggy" it's like a wet heat.Moisture in the air. It's also "dead" heat no wind no breeze lol just damp heat beating you like an.... But when the hurricanes come you get a breeze the problem is WAY to much of it.I've been up to tennessee for tweo weeks at a time a few times and when you come back you notice that smell your talking about,I guess I'm used to it other than that.The mountain air in tennessee was so fresh... I live like right between miami and tampa.
Think about it; wouldn't it feel great right about now? We could start our own little Afterdawn village up there with the canadians j/k folks LOL!
The humidity is what gets everyone in the Eastern USA...That's why I want to move to maybe Califonia or somewhere midwest....Plus PA is boring.
Hey tycobb i wouldent be complaning your beside disney world . Lol jk. I'd so move to afterdawn village thta place would be awseome.
Yeah that would be cool for like a week or two.I get sick of it after awhile because most ad members are dudes lol. Man are you kidding disney,bush gardens,universal studios,all the water parks.It's packed down here with good stuff.I've been to them all though multiple times Plus it's so packed and you may catch a disease from all the rugrats lol.Cost alot of money as well.
i didn't bother 2 read past the first post, but encase any1 didn't know, igloos are warm. why do u think eskimoes built them, to stay cold? no, i didn't think so.
im pretty sure if i went into an igloo right now, it would be a hell of a lot cooler than my house. the whole reason for the igloo talk is because some like to joke that canada is cold and lacking the construction methods of heated houses. we know what igloos were used for... and i would kill for a house made out of ice right now.
Go to the mall or some store. I know that alot of people go to the mall that don't have proper air conditioning.
not when you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt inside of them. ever sit in a snow fort wearing your boxers... i did, and i will never do it again... ps: don't ask, i was high.
