It was 100° last night. LAST NIGHT!

Two in the fucking morning and it’s fucking hot outside!

I hate Arizona.

In Michigan we set records for hottest April and May. We have had a lot of 90 + days with stifling humidity. But I remember how Rush explained that a freak snow in Texas last winter proved there is no global warming. Therefore I have no plausible explanation.

The past few days here in NH have been freak’n AWESOME!

High temp in the mid 60s with no humidity, bright blue skies and a gentle wind now and then to mix things up.

Normally it’s pushing 90 with like a billion % humidity that just sucks the life right out of you.

Sadly, I think the ‘normal’ weather is on its way this weekend. :mad:

See, for me , the ‘No’ answer actually DOES make sense. Am I waiting for the summer heat to show up? No, because I don’t _like_ the heat, and we _are_ warm at best (some one said further upthread that the Puget Sound area hasn’t topped 75 degrees yet this year. That’s fine with me).
