You're in the Saauth Now

Yeah, so I'm from Chicago. Get over it. Chicago makes no pretenses. He is a straight man, no bluffs. It's going to be cold. In. Chicago. Prepare yourselves.

Now Savannah, she is a fickle {explicative}. She is a liar, and will take you for all your health is worth. "No no, it will be warm year round, you're in the saauth now" she says. Well I call BS.

Sure Chicago will get down to negative whatever, and savannah sometimes dips below 40. But guess what, there is a key difference.

Being in Chicago for the winter is like stepping into a freezer that has been off and having it turned on. You have time to prepare. Your blood thickens. You layer up.

The south however is humid. Humidity is a terrible thing. Being in Savannah when it is cold AND humid is like being shoved out of a warm shower, and nakedly into that freezer. Humidity, here, is the key difference.

At this point you might be saying "but Megan, Chicago has humidity too." to which I just laugh. Hard. Because no matter how humid it gets in Chicago, it is nowhere near as MOIST as it is in Savannah on it's mildest day. Yes I said moist, and put it in all caps, just to bother you.

So next time you see a shivering Chicagoan in....39 degree rain, you'll know why.

P.S. My twin sister is engaged. More on that next time?
