    “If you don’t like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes”

    I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it’s a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it’s unique to where they live

      I have heard this almost exclusively for Florida and not any of the surrounding states. Or really I have never heard it about any other states on the Eastern seaboard.

      It’s not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.

      That saying pops up anywhere where there’s a large range of weather. Which is most places, but not everywhere.

      People say it abt New England, Great Lakes, the South, the Midwest. Literally everywhere I’ve lived, if you don’t like the weather… wait.
