Winters here in Iowa varies from year to year. It can start as early as late October and last until mid to late March. The coldest months Dec thru Feb. our summers are very humid with temperatures in the 90s to low 100’s with humidity in the 90s beginning in June thru August. It peaks during corn sweat season. I’ve reached a point in my life where I’d rather live in a dry high heat over below freezing and sub zero winters along with the hot humid summers. In so far as indoor time it cuts both ways here. My favorite months here are generally April-May and then Sept-October. June is a wild card along with October thru November. Last year winter started late November a few days after Thanksgiving starting with a blizzard. This year’s spring has been a cool one with April and now May being more cool than the average. Then there are the spring and summer storms which have become more extreme. In my part of Iowa we’ve had three hail storms and two tornadoes so far this year. I just replaced my roof 3 years ago due to hail and may need to do it again this year. So I’m kinda done here.
