...less than two months until it's springtime in Australia
Hi Bill! Did you know that while we in the northeast of the USA were bearing record setting high temps, Australia had record setting low temps? While we had 93+Farenheit, they had 6.4 Celsius.
I feel very much toward the weather that i feel toward religion and politics. I prefer not to have to experience the radical extremes, preferring some moderation. :-)
<checkle.wav> Well, I don't know. I spent nine years in Southern California and frankly found the weather boring. I was glad to get back to where there were real seasons.
But to a chicagoan -- or, I'm sure, a Vermonter -- 44 F isn't particularly frigid.</checkle.wav>
And I do not ever want to get used to 95 degrees by day! I'd rather have minus-20! At least you can always add more layers. You can only take layers off just so far. LOL!
Only got about 88º today. . . . Rick's got 98º in Alexandria, with a heat index of 105º!! But at least DC peeps have A/C.
Though I was reminded on my stay in DC, that we never had A/C in that house till after I moved out. Window fans at night, and closing and curtaining in the day. I'm surprised we all survived it, lol!
A story about Changsha (one of China's Three Furnaces). I friend of mine was teaching there, and by mid April was down to tee shirts and shorts. He noticed his interpreter was still wearing a tee shirt and long underwear. He asked how wise was that? His interpreter said: Well, come June and it gets *really* hot, what are you going to take off?
We thought we'd get out from the fans and go get some AC, but the new Village Cup restaurant in town just has fans! At least they have wifi and we're getting a cool meal. We won't stay long, though.
Home again. What a scorcher! Burlington VT now has 99.6 degrees (got up to 100.3 or more today) with humidity at 51%, heat index of 111~!!! And son lives on the second floor without AC.
Rick now has 101.1º and a heat index of 110º ~~ phew!!
I didn't make quite to 90º and it's 78º in here as I type. That mountain that blocks the southern exposure is quite nice sometimes. . . . Not quite so much in January, lol!
I remember supporting a local candidate named Howard Dean!
ReplyDeleteNow he be ever first!

It's all relative to what you're used to.

Well how about this? The heat wave here in the Northeast is today's main blog post story at Weather Underground's TROPICAL page!

Thank-you, puddle! ♡
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty mean heat index! Ours is "only" 96 at the moment. It's 94 degrees here with 41% humidity. Bad enough.

Ahhh I'm glad you have a cooling mountain, puddle.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to see our mountain today since the haze is so bad.

The top of Mount Mansfield broke a record..79 degrees up there today.
Wow! Very gunky. Try not to breathe. . . .
