The "Snow in Colorado" thread.

DJ, DJ, DJ... this is New England. Honestly, there are probably 10 to 15 days where it is hot enough to really need air conditioning... no more than that.

I have lived in Maine pretty much all my life (except that year in Slovenia). I think I was in a house once or twice with air conditioning... and that was just in one room of it...

You are in the SOUTH. There, it is HOT in summer for months. Very hot. And air conditioning is a standard part of a house.

This is the NORTH. Air conditioning is a extra that no one really needs... only stores (and motels/hotels) have it, and that's just bigger stores.

I mean, who really needs to spend the large amount of money aircon would cost when you only REALLY need it for under 2 weeks a year?

Sure... I wish we had it... it does get hot, and having fans on doesn't always do the job. But would spending a lot of money for aircon be even remotely worth it? No way... not when its used as little as it would be...

Now centeral heat, that's obviously a different story...
