1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’m not quite sure what the meaning is. Like, “You think this weather is bad? Wait until Summer/Winter.” or “You think it’s hot now. Just wait until August.”? I live in South Carolina. We have really hot, humid, miserable summers. But I hear people complaint about winter way more often. Oh no, it snows every three years – it’s the end of the world! All businesses shut down as soon as the first snowflake hits the ground, people freak out and forget how to drive, and life is awful until it melts 24 hours later.
