That was me last week...

Normalcy will return eventually, and so will your sanity. In the meantime, hole up with popsicles.

I just had 2...mmmm orange creamsicles!

Also, ice towels on your head and pressure points. Instant relief from the heat. :)

Huh...

It's been sitting around 100 here for the last two months and 0 rain. Yay! Droughts!

But oddly enough the weather says the day after tomorrow we're going to be getting negative temperatures and blizzards...

It's hot here in OK (we've had 19 days of 100+ degrees), but the wind has blown the past couple of days so that's helped. What we need is rain.......I can't even remember what rain looks like.....:eek:

Yes, record highs. 36 degrees, with a humidex of 48 yesterday. (not sure how that translate into the old F scale) Got to say, I love it. It wont be long before we are day dreaming of this weather, while shovelling the car out of a snowbank...

I want every season to be shorter. We could go through 8 seasons per year, I think that would be perfect. That way, we wouldn't get sick of any particular season. Might mess up the crops, though...

Yes!! I just discovered that miracle cure yesterday, while sitting in the convection oven known as my car in north Philly. What a relief!!

Meanwhile, I am lucky enough to take a morning off from working in the heat today, so that I can get organized and attack my job with renewed vigor tomorrow. I am pretty drained from the heat alone. Tomorrow will be just as hot, but I'm determined to make the most of it after my day off!

For the past few days, it has never fallen below 27° centigrade (81° fahrenheit) over the course of the night! Seriously, there's been no sun for eight hours and it's still this hot! The humidity is brutal too...

I've been running my air conditioner 24/7 and I feel bad about it 'cause I know how much our government subsidizes our electricity... but I need it or I would die of heat stroke!

Take heart northeasterners. Yesterday, the temp in Omaha dropped to the mid 80s, after 5 straight days of triple digits, and two weeks in the high 90s. The humidity was still up there, but bearable. (I've actually heard native Floridians complain about Omaha's humidity) This morning? The temp was in the upper 60s and the humidity had broken. Relief!

Maybe it was just my imagination...but I could swear that I could actually smell the green starting to come back into the flora.

So, sweat away. Relief is on the horizon. I know that my A/C is going to get some much needed rest.

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.
