Just got a call from a neighbor and confirmed on the school web site. Our town has declared tomorrow a half-day, early dismissal, due to the forecast of high heat/humidity on Monday.

Lots of schools were doing this today. I don't recall them doing that before.

The high school I went to was mainly without air conditioning and days like this were brutal..I think it's about 90 degrees out already...I need to check accuweather

I'd love to play sax. I'm all thumbs with string instruments. I played some piano as a child but didn't stay with it.

Funny when i was kid i took sax lessons in elementary thru HS and really liked it . Played sax then in a group in the 60's then kinda got away from it and got into guitar .

Hey, you might get a few heat strokers out there, things might be looking up, lol. Get yourself some kind of air conditioned moonsuit :snow:, and then walk em around out there for a coupla hours looking at stones......

Problem is that the old folks who die of heat stroke usually live in public housing and can't afford a steezy tombstone...I know there are old folks right now sitting in tiny 100 degree apartments sweating like crazy..it's pretty sad actually since the Mall and the Library are air conditioned but some of them can't get there.

What a difference a little elevation and some mountains made today temp wise! When I left the Mount Snow area around noon, it was hazy, and humid, but only about 75 degrees, and relatively comforable. By the time I hit Greenfield, Mass not an hour later, the same sky condtions had the temp at just over 90, and I saw a max temp of 95 on the Mass Pike just East of Springfield, all under the same hazy sky conditions!
