Heat Warning!

[PWC]

@1600 my porch thermometer is reading 82 degrees F, not bad under my big trees. In the greenhouse it is 93, with high humidity inside and out.

At 0200 in Phoenix it may be 82 degrees. I spent my late teens in Mississippi whered humidity seldom gets below 30%. In the summer everything is done slowly, and on the winter, the wind will go thru ylu like a knife.

Feb 1958 it snowed in Jackson and stayed 3 days. I made an 8' snowwoman in our front yard. Winter of 1989, it snowed 1" and stayed 1 day, in Phoenix. It was the day of my daughter's wedding and I wiped off the top of the car and measured the accumulation.

"...snowed 1"..." Came out of the Apt. building one day about 10 years ago. November Thursday, as I recall. It had snowed 2 FEET in 3 hours. Snow was even with the top of the bumper on a full sized F-150 with as much on the cap. I went back in and tried to get through to the work house by phone. The snow was entirely gone by Sunday.
"...several 100 degree days..." Talked to a woman from Dallas/Fort Worth when working at a call centre years ago. She said it had been 100F for a week. I think that was why the internet was down. Boxes on the poles were over heating.
"...can't get cold enough for me..." Trade you our occasional -40(same on both scales. Friggin' cold.) for your +40C. Was on a CF exercise one time at -40C. The Army in their ultimate wisdom gave us fresh rations. Tomatoes turn to rocks at -40. The 3 feet of snow was nothing. We couldn't feed or water the troopies. There was miracle though. I had driven my '73 Nova and it started without a whimper after 2 days.

that's nothing.
back around 1996 or so it was an ACTUAL MINUS 60 in Minnesota (Embarass was the town's name if I remember correctly).
I remember having 3 weeks at a time up there where it would be close to MINUS 30 at night and the high for the day was like MINUS 2 to MINUS 12.
I am in Phoenix now. Can't say I enjoy 115, but I get 8 months of good weather here vs maybe 1 to 4 months in MN.
That and nobody wanted to honor my Tricare up there for many years. bunch of libtards. glad I'm GONE! NO desire to EVER go back.
