2 Hot!

[Hawgee]

I've ATTACHED A PICTURE for those who really have it hot at the moment. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif We see 80 degrees and its a humid, sticky mess. Now I know I'll hear moans and groans cause that is not that hot, but it is for the Seattle area.
I do remember spending the summer of 62 in Little Rock. 100 almost everyday and they told us that was normal.

Hawgee, Good one! We kind of feel that way in the Atlanta area.

Wouldn't want to be argumentative, but I disagree, Thomas./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I can put on enough clothes to stay warm, but can't take off enough to stay cool./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I'm with you Bird. We are both in Southern states and in the winter get to brag on our mild temps while the Northern crowd tells us about their sub human temps. Guess it is their turn now while you and I are nearing medium rare every time we go outside. Maybe a tractor in Maine for the summer and one at home for the winter. Or a, you can share mine in the winter if I can share yours now, exchange progam./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[Thomas]

Thats for sure Mark,for the sub temps can make one think about going south until it warms up./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I would miss mother nature dirt [snow] for that gives me a change to play and help on the cabin fever./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Oh us northern people don't complain to much about the weather,but we sure do mumble alot./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Who took the picture of my wife and I at the beach?/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif We are in the midst of the best summer we have had in years, so far 1 day over 100 degrees and everytime it gets dry we get a good rain. THere were 90 mile/hour winds and major rains last night, today there was a light breeze and 86, it just doesn't get much better than that. My outdoor range is from about 30 degrees to close to 100 degrees. I try to stay out of the weather if it gets outside that range. Problem is we don't have enough really cold weather to have the cloths or nohow to dress for it. If we get any kind of snow or ice it's a crap shoot to get out because nobody around here has snow tires or knows how to drive on it. Sure makes for interesting commuting. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[Bird]

Just mumble; not me, I gripe and fuss about it, as if that's going to do me any good./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

In addition to what Thomas said about those of us here up north...if you're a school teacher you sometimes pray for snow and when the weatherperson says you're going to get dumped on and you don't, you want to visit the tv/radio station and give them a piece of you mind! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Snow days are great days to fire up the New Holland for snow removal and the old John Deere snowmobile to play in the snow with my kids! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif The first "real" snow of the season is the best.

Jim,as to weather men..I heard a story about a teenager at a job fair..He asked the wether man why he should want to be a meteorologist...The wether man relpied.."Well what other job can you be completely wrong half of the time and not get fired?".../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gifCan't recall where I heard it...Just found it amusing...I'm with Bird on the hot and cold..When my wife complains I have the air down to low I tell her to step out side and see how long it takes to get hot...then come back iin and see how long it takes to cool off...After a while she quit fussing I guess she tried it..Now she grabs little somthing else to through on..Like something other than a swimsuit...

Bird,

When we moved to California, we were surprised that they had HOT days off in the school system. Since the temp is so moderate, many of the schools are not air conditioned. If the temperature reached a certain temperature by 10:00, the dismissed all the school childeren and sent them home. In Texas, we had only heard of snow days, and there weren't many of those.

 

[Bird]

Wen, I don't recall school ever closing for weather when I was a kid (maybe it was just so long ago I've forgotten)./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif And of course the school wasn't air-conditioned. And I don't believe I ever heard of having school days off for heat. I do remember my dad telling about moving from Oklahoma to Baltimore when I was a baby and he took a job with the Social Security Administration there. He said they told him they closed the office and sent everyone home when the temperature got to 90, and for an Oklahoma farm boy who worked in the fields when it was over 100, he thought that was ridiculous until it happened. He said with the humidity there, when it got to 90, you just went to a city park and sat under a shade tree until the sun went down. And of course we didn't stay in Baltimore very long before going back to Oklahoma.
