Heat Wave...

[AMAC2233]

Right now it's 58 degrees here in Boston and overcast. Hard to believe that NOAA is predicting 92 tomorrow, 95 on Sunday, and 99 degrees on Monday, with a dip into the high 80's on Tuesday. (That's still not going to get me out buying A/C units, nor will I ever consider installing central air.)

Well, at least the weathermen can no longer complain about the "March-like" weather. That really gets me going. And, with hot weather comes those refreshing thunderstorms, one aspect of summer that I actually like.

Wow some people on here are anti-AC..I'm anti sweating..

 

[AMAC2233]

Yeah, well I'm a pretty cheap guy in general, so I definitely won't go for a wallet drainer like A/C. There are ways around it. I have a nice porch on the north side of my house that always gets a cool breeze, even on those hot/sticky days. A dehumidified (via an Energy Star Kenmore) basement is always bearable also.

I just have a single AC unit running in my living room..I keep the window open in my bedroom for fresh air. If it gets really brutal I can chill at my parents house where there's central AC and lots of refreshments.

Ritas Italian ice is going to make so much money this weekend. When I worked there in high school..they would make $3k plus on a hot day and now prices are almost double as high..not bad for syrup and water..lol

Up to 73. Took a quick ride to the local grocery store and the humidity is on the rise. It kinda feels nice. Gonna be great beer drinking weather this afternoon.

I have 19 bottles of Sam Adams summer chilling in my fridge..I'd like to walk 5-6 miles around Noon and get drenched with sweat first..

 

[AMAC2233]

[Greg]

Portland escaped the Heat Wave today. I spent all day in central NH helping my brother move where it was 92 degrees in the shade. I just got home and was fearing the worst and a 100+ degree apartment and arrived to find the temperature 62 degrees outside. 60 miles by the way the crow flies away and 30 degrees cooler, it almost feels cold.

Tomorrow it's supposed to get up to the high 80's here, but the real serious heat appears like it will remain south.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

It's like the surface of the sun here, and Sunday is supposed to be a record breaker. Bike race starts at 9, but it's really gonna suck by 12.
