This is for anyone living on the East Coast, or the surface of the sun (there's really no difference).

How are you surviving this weather? It snowed for 3 months...then rained for 3 months. Now when you leave your house, it's as if you've walked into a kiln.

Is there any reason to leave the house? I guess I'll just stay here at TFP.

tikki

Stay inside. I only go out to get food, and even then I have the air conditioner just blowing on my face.

It's too hot for me to put the convertible top down.

I need to move where its sunny and 65 degrees everyday.

God I wish I had central air!!!! I hole up in the computer room with door closed and window air conditioner on high.

Actually it will probably get worse. We've only seen the low 90's so far.

Nice column in The Cleveland Plain Dealer today about the weather.

It was about "where did my summer go." That is how I feel. Like you mentioned, Joey, it feels like we have only had nice weather for a few weeks but its already past the fourth of July.

What to do about it? Go outside. Go watch a baseball game. Go play lawn bowling. But stay outside.

Why? Cause those months of snow are gonna be making a comeback before you are ready.

You guys are nuts.

It was 120 degrees in Baltimore's Camden Yard for the game today. 120 degrees! I watched from my couch inside my 76 degree centrally cooled house.

I happen to like the heat! I'm staying at my frat over the summer, and I'm not using AC because it's expensive. I got a little fan at CVS and I'm fine.
On the other hand, the outside weather is not really bearable for long periods of time; hinders the exercising thing :-(

LittleOralAnnie

I can't stand being cold so I'm relishing the heat, humidity and rain. I know in just a matter of months that it will be winter again but I'm not going to complain my summer away. It's the best time of the year!

uncle phil

hey pete, welcome to the chesapeake bay area...lived there for a few years (as you know)...still rather be warm than cold...humidity sucks, though, doesn't it?

tikki

I am pretty sure I would die in that heat.

juanvaldes

and were meeting in LV why again?

Phaenx

Ah cmon, this is going outside season. Collapsing on the floor next to the ac vent just doesn't have the same charm unless you've been out playing football all day.

Tack on getting some Ice Cream with that, and you've got a deal.

Empty_One

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

rodimus

the humidity in MI is driving me nuts. It always feels 20 degrees warmer. ick. i need to move somewhere arid

rogue49

I said July & August were going to suck this year.
Sometimes I hate being right.

Thank god for central AC.

Ganguro

If i had a dollar for ever moron i heard this from...
Yeah it's dry, but it's still hot.

Juan in october the weather here is lovely... 80's as highs, 60's as lows.. it's great stuff..
"winter" here is great compared to Indiana/Chicagoland where i grew up..

JoeyB

How do you feel about September & October?!?!



We trust you rogue, help us out!

absorbentishe

I love the heat after the like 9 months of winter. I can't wait ever day to get out of the office to enjoy the warmth. The only issue is sleeping, I only have a window a/c in my bedroom, which I just put in yesterday, what a difference it makes, I slept like a baby for the 4 hours I normally sleep!

Cynthetiq

As hot as it can get.. you could wish for Snow In Las Vegas

I'll take your 118 w/0% humidity over Virginias 95 w/90% humidity anyday.

Let me know where I can send your dollar.

crow_daw

Hey man, that shit about it being a dry heat is the truth. I live in damn Tennessee, and it STAYS humid here. You walk outside for literally TWO minutes and your shirt is sticking to your back. I recently went to Florida, and it was very not humid. It was about a hundred and four degrees and I just sat outside, relishing it. I wasn't even sweating, because I'm so used to this Tennessee humidity.When it gets to be a hundred and four degrees here, and believe it or not, it does, its UNBEARABLE. So don't tell me it isn't true. Because I know it is.

Believe or not we don't have the hot humid days this year in Florida. We have rain. It has rained 30 of the last 35 days. Last week we got 14 inches of rain in three days time. Still I think I prefer that to the heat.

prairefire55

Try walking around the good old midwest in Junly and August. It usually gets up around 100 in the shade in late July and early August plus you have to add in the humidity.

::sets VA on a giant ice cube::

I don't have central air so I hole up in my TV room when I'm at home. I don't mind going out as long as I'm not expected to do anything strenuous. I'd kill for 60 degrees and drizzly any day.

JoeyB

Sweating going to the mailbox.
Sweating getting out of the shower.
Sweating while reading.
Sweating while thinking about reading.

Oh, great it's raining again.

Sweating while watching the rain.
