stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Hot days - Here, my A/C can do no more than 79 - 80...an old house with zero insulation. Hoping/praying the electric grid doesn't conk out.
/dev/null Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 currently 91 degrees with heat index of 103 in va beach
erynthered Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 65 degrees and sunny. 389842[/snapback] Dick. 96, heat index, ala, feels like 107. 100% humidity. I can watch the wheel on my electical meter spin faster than a NASCAR fan suckin down a Bud
stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 65 degrees and sunny. 389842[/snapback] I'm envious. I put out a couple of bowls of water early this A.M. for strays, squirrels, birds etc., and toped them up a few hours ago. I can't say if it was consumption or evaporation, but it's always good and wise to help out the food chain in times of stress. I realize my tombstone will read, "Pedant".

Fezmid Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 65 degrees and sunny. 389842[/snapback] I was only there a week, but I miss Alaska... It's humid here, but only 77 now (was 85 when I got home a couple of hours ago - storm coming through, lowering the temp). Heat index is 80./ Temperature: 77.2°F Pressure: 29.29" Average Wind: 3mph NNE Sunrise: 5:48 AM Humidity: 67% Sunset: 8:45 PM Dew Point: 66°F Moonphase: 82 Heat Index: 80°F Monthly Rain: 1.27" High: 86°F Rain: 0.05" Rain Rate: 0.08"/h Low: 67 °F Gusts: 20mph SE We've had 12 or 13 days of 90°F this year soi far. Blech. This is in the Twin Cities, MN area. For those who like weather -- take a look at http://www.weatherbug.com. It's kinda cool, tells you the temp, warns of approaching storms, has nice animated radar, pictures from cameras, etc. It's free if you want to deal with ads on the display, or is $20/year if you want to have it ad-free. I really like it. (yes, the stats above are all from WeatherBug, and there's more ). There are similar free weather-tracking apps for your desktop available, but none seem as good as WeatherBug IMHO.

Alaska Darin Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 I was only there a week, but I miss Alaska... 389852[/snapback] Alaska summers are the closest thing (weather wise) to heaven that I've experienced. Winter is a whole 'nother story.

Fezmid Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Alaska summers are the closest thing (weather wise) to heaven that I've experienced. Winter is a whole 'nother story. 389860[/snapback] I'd agree with that (except by Hubbard Glacier - it's COLD there! ). CW

stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2005 Author Posted July 25, 2005 Word of the Day Toilet Paper? 389868[/snapback] Regardless of message, toilet paper retains its value and marketability when the power goes out, unlike tech support.
Frez Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 I'll be shocked if my gas bill is over $20 this month. Electric bill maybe double that. 389850[/snapback] What's a gallon of milk cost? T-bone steak? Gas prices?
erynthered Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 When's that African dust cloud that is going to brighten your sunrises and sunsets and clog your lungs with silica fines going to occur? 389875[/snapback] I suspect they're coming, soon. I'm soooo happy. The early ones are a suprise, though, El Nino never came for dinner. There's the culpret.
