All time record April high of 96 degress in New York City yesterday, but today itā€™ll cool down to a refreshing 88. Thanks for this thread, folks. No matter how rotten it gets in NYC, I always think ā€œAt least Iā€™m not in DC.ā€ Do you guys do the same with Atlanta? ---

We donā€™t compare Hot-lanta to DC because at least you expect it to be nasty in Atlanta. DC has all the problems of a Northern city and a Southern city. Atlanta, at least you know where you stand. ---

Doug Hill says it might not _actually_ hit 90 degrees today. Fucking Christ, didnā€™t there _used_ to be some distance between ā€œwear a coat itā€™s fucking coldā€ and ā€œstrips to the BVDs, itā€™s Saunatimeā€ in this area? I distinctly remember _one_ year where there was actually a spring. Of course, I also remember getting hit with a blizzard in April of '93. ---

It seems that Iā€™m turning on the olā€™ central AC earlier and earlier each year. I envy women that get to wear cute spring jackets for longer than a week. \ ---

This is the one time of the year Iā€™m glad I work in a cooler. Hey **John Corrado** , ever shop in Giant? ---

Asylum, which one? The one on 29 & 198 (which is really Burtonsville) or the one on Rte 1 by 198? I shop at the former, not usually the latter. ---

The one on Rte 1. I was thinking itā€™d be kind of cool if you were one of my regular customers and I was unaware, but apparently not. I do help out sometimes at the one on 29 & 198 however, but thatā€™s spotty. Wish I could go there permanently; better looking women. Which if you think about it is the one good thing about our current temperature: skimpy clothing. ---

Well, now that the entire Atlantic Ocean has been dumped on our heads, Iā€™m sure itā€™ll cool down somewhatā€¦ My office went from sunny to black and ominous in about a minute. Spooky! ---

We just had ice-cube sized hail roll through here between the White House and DuPont. I just spent the last ten minutes watching all the bicycle cops (imported for our upcoming IMF Demonstration et al) scatter for their lives. No busted windshields that I can see, though. Must have been soft hail. ---

Why canā€™t it still be winter? I donā€™t feel any closure ā˜¹ ---

Aguecheek is right. Man, that was a storm. I kicked my folks home an hour early because of it. Scary scary scary. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dc-weather-i-just-love-her-sometimes/103717.md?page=1)
