He's full of shit. TN is backwards as fuck. The tooth fairy is broke and on welfare. General Motors couldn't even keep a plant here because the people were too Stoopid to do assembly line work.

This is a big one. My chiropractor is originally from AZ. He says the summers here with lower temps but higher humidity feels much hotter than there with much hotter temps and near zero humidity.
Had a coworker from Pennsylvania who told me -20 up there didn't feel as cold as 20 here.

Granddad was a moonshiner in middle Tennessee. Did 4 years in a federal pen in Florida in the mid 60s. Said they'd have to shoot him before he'd ever go back.

Wear a hat!

I've been in both as well and I would rather deal with 100 degree/10% humidity then 80 degree/90% humidity any day.
