‘don’t like the weather, wait an hour.’, everywhere state i’ve been to.

SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona's drivers are much worse.

Nobody in California ever said that shit. Having rain 3 days a year isn't bipolar weather

Seriously Colorado though:

@TaterTot@piefed.social 2026-02-24 14:41
Well, guess it's nice to know I'm not giving away my location when I complain.
-
@ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 15:41
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.

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.

"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

In central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.

@CidVicious@piefed.zip 2026-02-24 21:13
Living at altitude, this is actually true. Very low atmospheric buffering. Temperature swings of 40 degrees within a few hours.

No one in the southwest say this lol

Yeah well in [insert location] we have two seasons, winter and construction.

@OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2026-02-25 01:40
In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.

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.
-
@brown567@sh.itjust.works 2026-02-25 00:04
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
-
@rumba@lemmy.zip 2026-02-24 18:56
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.
-
@captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 15:03
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
-
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 15:10
It is a scientific fact that Tennessee has the worst drivers. Not my state, btw.
-
@Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2026-02-25 03:10
Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.
-
@BanMe@lemmy.world 2026-02-25 14:40
Arkansas doesn't require driver's ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don't understand how it works, etc. I've lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.
-
@Starski@lemmy.zip 2026-02-24 19:36
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.
-
@AlfalFaFail@lemmy.ml 2026-02-24 17:43
Its raining in Oregon. We'll see the sun in July... Hopefully.

@RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2026-02-24 15:10
Everyone in the midatlantic agrees delaware drivers are the worst.
-
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2026-02-25 23:54
I've lived in quite a few places and I still think of Maryland drivers as the worst I've encountered. Istanbul drivers are the most ballsy/skilled/terrifying/helpful.
-
@karashta@piefed.social 2026-02-24 14:57
NJ legitimately has some of the worst, most aggressive drivers
-
@Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 16:08
New Mexico - uhh, no? It's just sunny...
-
@13igTyme@piefed.social 2026-02-24 14:42
Few years ago I moved to Oregon. Because of the Willamette valley and mountains, it never gets to hot or cold though out the year. Like a perfect year round average.
-
@tamal3@lemmy.world 2026-02-26 01:54
I thought my state was the worst, but turns out Miami takes the cake. Grand Theft Auto was basically accurate.

@Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2026-02-24 17:34
In Houston, some days there isn't a cloud in the sky, then it rains like 2 inches over 30 minutes and then it goes back to clear skies and the water evaporates making the air sticky. Goes from perfect to drenched to perfect to a totally different kind of drenched in an hour's time. Also the drivers all lose their minds when the weather changes. So all the time... I guess.
-
@Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2026-02-24 16:36
The all time record high temp and all time record low temp for my area are set on the same day about ten years ago. I'd say the weather here is a little wild

@AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2026-02-24 16:13
I think the most extreme and consistent bipolar weather I’ve seen was in Nevada where during the night it’d get down to 30°F (-1°C) and then almost as soon as the sun came up the frost would evaporate as daytime temperatures rose to 113°F (45°C) In terms of chaos, I’d say Utah takes the cake. Not just because it can go from snowing to 90°F weather and back repeatedly in a week, but because during those chaotic weeks you can drive less than an hour in any direction and find completely different weather. If violence in the chaos is desired, the southern Midwest probably wins. Tornadoes and golf ball sized hail will fuck up your day and then everything is unbearably sunny again. The east is a close second since it gets wrecked by hurricanes occasionally, but less frequently than tornadoes hit the midwest I doubt Californians think their state is bipolar. Same with other temperate states.

@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2026-02-24 18:35
Nah. The state I used to live in I wouldn't say either of those things.
-
@ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 2026-02-24 19:20
Arkansas has the worst drivers. I've lived in 6 states and driven in many others.

Laughs in Canadian.

@Nebraska_Huskers@lemmy.world 2026-02-25 22:38
In my state not all the drivers are the worst. Just those from 22, 8, 14counties. That's Crete, hastings, grand island
-
@Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 16:59
It was 70 degrees Friday, then the temperature plummeted and it started snowing last night in East Tennessee ☹️
-
@elbiter@lemmy.world 2026-02-24 17:42
Worst drivers are in Italy, everybody knows that.
-
@Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2026-02-26 00:12
The fucking Russian drivers are the worst. I saw plenty of them in Masuren and Ermland (Warmia) before Poland closed the border with the shitbag Muscovites from the illegally occupied Kaliningrad.

@greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2026-02-25 23:58
Nope, it's always cloudy. Or like some valleys are cloudy and some are sunny. But they are predictable.
