Title: Officially tired of the heat Post by: louisb on August 07, 2007, 17:33:42 pm 100 deg f with a heat index of 110 & high humidity here today. Supposed to be like this all week w/ little chance of rain. It is so hot I actually opted to drive the SUV instead of the VW to work today. I am ready for fall with highs in the 70s.

You can come here in Belgium. Always cloudy, Cold weather with sometime very few sun... Title: Re: Officially tired of the heat Post by: louisb on August 07, 2007, 20:08:22 pm North Florida. Summer is brutal here but winter is nice. We get about six weeks of weather where the temp at night drops to around freezing. (And usually not in a row) In fact, I have never seen snow in person.

Title: Re: Officially tired of the heat Post by: The Ideaman on August 08, 2007, 00:05:03 am I spent 20 years in Arizona. One summer we had over 100 days in a row of 100 degree days. Some years from May til October. Now live in Central California, where it is a little cooler, but hazy from November until March.

That's why I put in a pool last year. Now we can always cool down, besides my wife wanted really bad if you know what I mean. She let's me do my VW stuff so I can't complain. Title: Re: Officially tired of the heat Post by: j-f on August 09, 2007, 07:47:36 am Today in my area, there is a warning because we will have 50-60 liters/ m2 water due to severes precipitations.

Nick's was this weekend, too...drove to Bill Schwimmer's at 3:00. Had to have been 112 when I left the house in the '67. Hard to believe it gets to freezing here and actually rains once in a while, too.
Title: Re: Officially tired of the heat Post by: louisb on September 04, 2007, 15:32:21 pm Yesterday was not too bad in the evening. I cleaned up the garage after my latest work session then went for a ride in the '67 about 6:30. Mid-eighties and slightly overcast made it comfortable cruzing around. Today the heat and humidity is back. At least football season is starting this week.
