Re: This isn't freakin Phoenix
Lucky you. We are having a totally crap summer and today/tomorrow we are told there will be one months rain in one day and we have 37 flood warnings in force.
The weatherman explained that at this end of the 'jet stream' we are having bad weather,while at the other end of the 'jet stream'...ie you guys,are enjoying a heat wave
Mike you really did come over here at the right time,the only few weeks of half decent weather we have had this year.

Funny thing is Mike, we never had it growing up. Wouldn't think of it now.

Re: This isn't freakin Phoenix

Re: This isn't freakin Phoenix
In case anyone's wondering, this is why the British are always moaning about the weather. We'll be in a tent two weeks from today and we're seriously thinking of taking a small portable heater with us. Mind you, I do understand that extreme heat can be just as wearing.snootydog wrote:Lucky you.

Re: This isn't freakin Phoenix
Sure 105 isn't bad with your 12% humidity, but try it with our Midwest humidity 3-4 times that and it gets a little uncomfortable, along with our -20 winters we are adapted too.lilhoody wrote:Quit being such pussies!

Re: This isn't freakin Phoenix
No doubt. Some people discount the humidity, but around here (MN) they keep blathering on about the "heat index." Today is going to be pretty pleasant with a forecasted heat index of only 91, compared to days this past week where it was well over 100.dnslater wrote:Sure 105 isn't bad with your 12% humidity, but try it with our Midwest humidity 3-4 times that and it gets a little uncomfortable, along with our -20 winters we are adapted too.lilhoody wrote:Quit being such pussies!
