Yeah, it may be very hot today, but tomorrow it'll be gone. You'll all be feeling a lot better tomorrow I'm sure. Buck up, eastern US TFPers.
I'm glad I don't live in the midwest anymore. Here in Denver we rarely if ever see a "heat index". As a former Detroit area resident, I'll take Denver at 100 degrees actual temperature over a heat index of 100 degrees in Detroit any day. Those heat indices are slanted downwards, if you ask me.
That said.. the weather patterns seems to be changing. Maybe it's just me, but in Detroit in the early to mid 1990s I remember getting first snow in October or November... these days it seems it doesn't happen until December. And as earlier posts in this thread indicate, the winter veil doesn't seem to lift until late April or so, when it used to be early-mid March. I can only conclude that the spring seems to be getting shorter and the fall much longer, with winter pushed forward. So the temperature ramps up a lot faster in the "spring" than it used to.
