Welcome to Oklahoma, and you are just in time for the heat. I hope we don't have to arrange a repeat of the last couple of weeks to make you feel welcome, but if you stick around until next spring, I am sure the storms will be back. LOL Good luck on the move.

Well I lived in Philadelphia for 37 years so heat and humidity
I am all to familiar with.I can say the cold and lack of humidity is not a bad deal because in the summertime it can over 100 in the day and back down in the 40s by the following which was awesome.....I have also been thru a few hurricanes so its just another adventure for me.........

What timing you have! Just in 2010 you've already missed the record-setting snow, sleet, ice storms that brought down trees, power poles, power lines, signs, and buildings; wildfires, heavy rains and severe thunderstorms, flash flooding, regular flooding, earthquakes, multiple tornadoes in a day; hail up to the size of softballs and high winds gusting into the 50s and 60s. Now, after all that, what do you think we have left for you? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. The thrilling climate/weather ride is over for this year and all we have to offer you is nonstop heat and humidity from now until October. I hope you like to sweat. : )

Well, we are holding out on you a little bit...we might have a little bit more severe weather up our sleeves. This is Oklahoma, after all, and we can have tornadoes any month of the year. Every now and then a hurricane comes ashore in Texas or Louisiana and sends its remnants (mostly torrential rainfall and sometimes high winds) our way. Really though, summer is dull, dull, dull. Just the same old endless sunshine and heat and humidity. We're kinda looking forward to dull. Sometimes we get a drecho wind with a big front that's blowing through but not often, and every now and then a dust storm...but not like they had in the Dust Bowl years.

Of course we're happy you're moving here and hope you'll love Oklahoma, insane weather and all, just like we do.

When y'all leave Montana, can you leave that plague of grasshoppers and locusts there and not bring them here with you? We have enough fun as it is without adding them to the mix.

Hope the move goes smoothly,

Guthrie... hmmm not that far from Edmond.

Not sure, if I would make such a move. I love it in Montana. Went there to ride my bike(bicycle) a couple of years ago.

Well we really love it here but the cost of living up here is kinda way up there and that makes it a great place to visit but to much to buy here.We also have plenty of grass hoppers but not many locust that I have seen.All I can say we have had plnety of cold this year and snow is usually a non factor because it is a given...

I lived in MT for two years as a teen. Although it was beautiful country, it was quite a shock to only see the ground three months out of the year (being originally from hot, and more hot Texas).

I'm sure Philidelphia is hot and humid, but I've heard over and over again from people who move here that they had no idea that heat and humidity could be like this. My favorite is a guy who came from Minnesota. In June he said, Oh yeah, we get 100 degree days. It's no biggie! Then by August he said, I didn't mean 100 degrees for 3 weeks straight!

There's just something special about our brand of hot and humid that sucks the breath out of you the second you step outside. The good thing is the okra loves it!
