the blackout? summer of '03 I think.

standing on a boat in the middle of the Hudson River and looking across to Manhattan to only see blackness was pretty much the freakiest thing I've ever seen in my life.

 

[nageov3t]

I can't decide which I'd rather deal with tonight -- my barely-functioning air conditioner or my parents.

their tv room is a total ice box, but man... ugh.

 

[mb]

Lovely, the forecast for today is even hotter. 106 for the projected high. Yesterday they said 104 and it hit 107.

 

[Gibson486]

It was still 93 degrees in Cambridge last night at 11 PM.

Taking a deuce is the worst in that weather...

 

[Azraele]

Argh, it's supposed to be hotter today than yesterday. High 104. Ugh.

 

[Gibson486]

yea that would work however my office is like a 1/2 mile from where i park my car. this GD building is too big and it cant remote that far

Under ground parking at my job()

 

[dfuze]

Gonna be a couple degrees cooler today, around 98/99, but the humidity is supposed to spike which will make it worse than yesterday

yeh, I think we have one more day of this and then Friday afternoon it is supposed to break... at least here.

 

[Regs]

I don't think it will break 90 today, than the lord. We still get to look forward to next week however, and with the electric bill that likely be 350 dollars by the end of the month.

 

[GasX]

How am I glad I moved to Florida for the balm July weather?

Already 90 here. Going to be a warm night again tonight, and may rain. Tomorrow 80% chance of rain but still muggy.

 

[Modelworks]

Not as bad here as yesterday but still :

Luckily I live near a nuclear power plant that has already announced they have more than enough capacity with only 2 of the 3 reactors powered. Rest of USA needs to get with the program .

lol i remember those days, where i was in Cambridge would always lose power when it was this hot as well, it was only our grid as well, across the street would have power, got really fucking annoying

 

[Iron Woode]

it is so hot outside...

that chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.

:awe:

They've actually tried frying an egg on the sidewalk in NYC the past day or so and it stayed runny :\

Humans may perceive a much hotter temperature (due to humidity), but it doesn't mean it's actually hotter.

 

[Azraele]

97 and feels like 105. The humidity is really bad today.

Update. Now 100, feels like 110. And the news today called for lower temps. Boy were they wrong.

 

[tokie]

Humidex of 42C currently (108F). It actually doesn`t feel bad at all, I was out tanning for a bit and didn`t mind it. Since this is supposed to be the last 40+ day, it`s kind of sad. I like the heat.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Nice bonus from the hot weather is lots of scantily dressed women.

 

[thepd7]

Considering there's a gigantic body of water just to our East, yes Texas can be extremely humid. Summer days in Houston = 95-105F and rain everyday in the afternoon.

Houston isn't Texas, it's the toilet where we put all our shit. Most of Texas is not very humid. The coast sucks ass in the summer unless you are at the beach.

I think it's legit to complain about extreme heat or cold when you're not used to it and not fully prepared.

say what you want about the heat in south/south-west, but every damn place has central air.

Correct. I laugh at people complaining about 90+ but I completely understand because if I didn't have central air everywhere I go I would bitch nonstop.
