3:22 pm

cybernan

only 86F here today

3:22 pm

hokie carla

today I went to town for a hair appt and when I left my car said 108. I know it always takes a bit to reach the actual temp, so I looked at weather app and it was 93, feels like 105.

3:22 pm

MollyL

You know it is the thick of summer when someone refers to under 90 as "cool"

3:22 pm

hokie carla

I would take a dry 105 heat any day over this humidity

3:22 pm

origami

Normally it's over 100 this time of year here.

3:23 pm

hokie carla

LOL, Molly - I almost spit out my drink when I read ori's post

3:23 pm

origami

A week or so ago we have 7 days in a row over 105

3:24 pm

hokie carla

we've been on a bit of a heat and thunderstorm stretch

3:24 pm

MollyL

I'm more than ready for a nice cool day.

3:24 pm

origami

I'm living for October

3:24 pm

MollyL

When I say cool, I mean something like 65-70.

3:24 pm

hokie carla

even October can be hot

3:25 pm

hokie carla

not really safe until maybe Nov

3:25 pm

origami

Agreed

3:25 pm

MollyL

And then you get slammed into the cold stuff.

3:25 pm

hokie carla

yep

3:25 pm

MollyL

The in between seasons are too short

3:26 pm

origami

I complain about the heat, but it is rarely really cold here. Most daytime winter temps are in the 50's.

3:26 pm

hokie carla

but at least there are usually some nice days mixed into the cold. just think if you were in like MN when it's super hot in the summer and super cold in the winter. ugh.
