It’s too hot to mow.

[G31]

These are words not uttered by anyone with a cab and AC!

“feels like” temp in triple digits, heat advisory…no worries.

 

[Goose1776]

Ac for the win. Glad I’m not Amish

My wife does the mowing on her own ZTR.

 

[hiddentacocatneddih]

I mowed into the dark last night. Didnt start till after 1900. It was nice enough to consider it then

earlier in the week I tried to beat the heat but it was 87 at 0800

Dark equals dew and dew equals cud grass. Never do that.

Or something will come due. You forgot a do, dew, due.

85F plus hi humidity no mowing for me.

Idk what a cud is but there wasnt any dew when I got finished up and closed up shop

'Cud' is the clumps of damp grass the mower leaves. Mulching blades are especially prone to 'cudding'.

never mind cutting grass, the first year in my new house the roof started leaking during a storm and that year it was ether crazy hot or it was raining so the first sunny day I started stripping. The whole time it was over 100 degree Fahrenheit on ground level, it was so hot I felt too bad to ask for help so I did it all by myself, it took me 3 days … it was so hot i kept burning my hands on everything I touched, I tell y’a I lost my finger prints and it took a month before they re appear.

 

[Williy]

The temps here have been between 102 and 111
We had a nice rain Friday night into Saturday morning
I'm very happy I paid the extra for the cab!

So I guess you can't escape the heat even in the north country.

Its gets warm here too just not as often ... We usually only get a week where its hot days and nights, days over 100 degress are pretty rare mostly in the 80's... this year its been pretty hot summer on average but again they only last a week or so and its followed with a cooler wave.... our average temperature is usually pretty low because how cool it gets at night.

Mow naked....lol

Than would that be consider meals on wheels for the mosquitoes etc.

The smoke from up there lingered here for some time, how is/was it up there? I haven't heard lately what the current fire situation is up there. It's supposed to get close to 90 here today. It's rare to see 100 here though.

I mowed a portion of my lawn yesterday. JD 570 riding mower. It was 92F with 12% humidity. That's our advantage here. The hotter it gets - the lower the humidity goes. All I had to do - avoid sunburn.

 

[lman]

Yesterday the afternoon humidity was 60%, but it only got up to 83 degrees. The corn seems to grow about 6" overnight.

Still lost of fires going on most of which are not under control, its very dry still as we barely had precipitation this summer, most of the bigger forest fires are east of where I live and we rarely get a eastern wind so we where not affected too much but we had one south of us that did got us smoke out for two weeks or so, we had a poor air quality advisory for over a month or so but it was only bad two weeks like I said, then wind turn it got a lot better.

Too wet to mow here!
I started the day (July 3) with long pants!
76 is the forecasted high today, just like yesterday. I feel a little better listening to everyone else's triple digits.
Stay cool guys and drink lots of water.
