For the last week or two the average temp has been 102 degrees with no sign of letting up for the next week. Today was 103, tomorrow it is supposed to be 103, Thursday 102, Friday 103, and Saturday we cool off to 99 (I’ll have to break out my coat). No sign of cooling or rain.
The air is thick with smoke from the many forrest fires. The fire fighters are running out of money and are exhausted. Our sky is gray instead of the usual bright blue. It is even hard to see the mountains that are only a few miles away because of the smoke. The planes that carry water to the fires pass over throughout the day.
My car overheated.
My airconditioner has been running non-stop.
It is too hot to do anything outdoors. My cat won’t even go outside.
It is hard to sleep even though I have my waterbed turned off and have taken the pad off.
I burnt my fingers on the mailbox.
I have to wear shoes outside.
It sucks.
I know it has only been since February, but I am ready to head back to Alaska!!
Where in No. California are you???
I’m near Redding, temps are the same but no some here. We burned everything in the neighborhood LAST year.
I just got back from Chicago, humid but I’d go back in a minute!!
102 degrees? Hah!! Try having 112 degree weather with a malfunctioning air conditioner. Nothing like sitting in a 92 degree house with the ceiling fan blowing on you to no avail.
I think that if you take a comfortably warm shower (to open up the pores) then pat yourself dry and lay down naked in front of a fan, it’ll help.
…it’ll help ME anyway.
…mmmmmmmmm…
What you need to do Diane is head uh…East to Park City, and east from there into the Uinta Mountains. You’ll love it. It’s beautiful AND cool!
(Trust me, I lived there for 16 years and never crawled above 90)
I can’t wait until it gets down to the 100s, it’s been 115 to 120 with 70 to 80% humidity here in the United Arab Emirates. I can’t remember what rain is, it hasn’t rained here for 3 years! Wanta trade places?
You sissies think it’s hot? In my day, it used to be 170 degrees because of all the submarines. We had to wear full length fur coats 24 hours a day, because the Roosevelt administration passed a law that said so. Then, at 3:00, then town bell would ring, and everyone had to line up in front of the capitol building, and the mayor would spit molton lava at us through drinking straws! One day I tried to stay home, because no one wants molton lava in their eyebrow, daggummit. Did I ever show you this scar? It’s from the lava, you know. So anyway, I tried to hide in my closet but instead I climben into the oven by mistake. Your grandmother was baking a loaf of rye bread at the time, and When I sat down on the upper rack, I really burned my hands and ass. Some of you think it’s hot when you sit on the bottom rack–Well, you don’t know nothin!! But I ate the bread while I hid in the oven, and it wasn’t cooked all the way, so I got some grubby disease from the raw eggs. It made my toenails fall off. Now, boy, you think you know pain, when your toenails fall off, It makes you…
