please post a general location. Not just the state!

"Snowing in Texas." doesn't tell you much info! Thanks.

Some people don't feel comfortable giving an area where they live, and they shouldn't be faulted for that.

While I get that, if you want to talk about the weather were you live.

I am guilty of both just saying Texas and sometimes East Texas. This morning again enjoying leaving my windows at home open for much cooler weather. But tomorrow for several days I will be back to running the air conditioning. All sunny though!!

I am glad just to get the state mentioned, I understand some don't want to get too specific about their location.

What I don't get is talking about the weather and not giving any location at all. I do not remember where all these posters live.

Absolutely correct, and no one should be asked. We're supposed to enjoy privacy here, and being pressed to reveal where you live compromises that. No one needs to know where you're reporting the weather from, and it's none of their business.

Them just mentioning their state is good enough for me.

I so agree.

Many posters prefer to remain more private and that is completely their right. The radar on the weather site is wonderful to check on what is coming your way.

Not faulting anyone!

Just a request. Curious minds like to know!

Don't really care where you live; don't know you!

Just wondering where it is snowing today.

When people post about weather, they aren't providing forecasts. They are just discussing what's going on in their area and many posters don't want to give specific information about where they live.

If it's snowing, raining or 110 degrees where a poster lives, it doesn't matter to me where they live and it doesn't affect me. The weather where I am is the only thing that really matters to me.

Short of giving my address and exact location I've often said Northern Virginia. It's a big place.

Besides for $9.99 someone can find out about my entire life.

There are very few things that are personal anymore. It's all out there ..... like it or not.

All of that electronic stuff is constantly 'listening'.

I've done that before. The first time I realized big brother was listening was when I was sitting at my daughter's kitchen table. My teenage granddaughter was home from school. I asked her if she was sick and she said she just had cramps from that time of month (something like that).

I no sooner got home that I started getting emails telling me about medicine and places that specialize in menstrual problems. Oh! Even variations of products for it.

I'm 73 years old! It's been a long time since I've needed anything pertaining to that.

To each her own. But I just can't imagine how posting the general area you live in would compromise your information. I live in the New Orleans metro area. I'm not on Facebook or anything else like that, so I'm not sure how that would help anyone identify me?

BTW we have beautiful sunshine today, with not a cloud in the sky today - 64 degrees. I always enjoy hearing what the weather is like in everyone else's part of the country 💕
