While I appreciate residing in Orland Park, the weather conditions present some difficulties, but the wide swing of seasons create a good deal of work, expense and disfigurement. The winters are the worst of it. The weather starts to cool of by early August, and it’s usually necessary to start up the heating system in August! My good friend and I often have blizzard-conditions for Halloween. My good friend and I expect snow on the grown for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and most likely on Easter as well, and we’ve even had to shovel on Mother’s Day. The snowfall requires constant plowing and shoveling to keep the sidewalks, front steps, back deck and driveway clear… Because of the immense piles potentially blocking access to the garage, my associate and I often need to pay for snow removal, then every time I want to leave for labor or drive anywhere, it’s necessary to brush off the car, scrape ice off the windshield and let the defrost run to clear the glass for at least twenty minutes. My good friend and I are forced to bundle up in layers of blazers, boots, heavy coats, hats and gloves. The temperature is properly below cold and can drop into the drawbacks. The wind chill is downright dangerous, however living in Orland Park means that I never buy tickets to an event stressed between August and May, because inclement weather can make the commute impossible, however school closings, blizzard warnings and driving bans are a frequent occurrence! Once Spring finally arrives, there is the threat of flooding from snowmelt and torrential downpours. My good friend and I frequently suffer from lengthy power outages. While I consistently look forward to summer time in Orland Park, the heat and humidity are a problem. The excessive moisture causes problems with mold and mildew growth. While I’d appreciate to open the windows and let in some fresh air, the household gets overheated and sticky, although the summer time season is short, I’ve invested into central air conditioning.
