This is just too much

[AgustusM]

It has been over 100 for over a week straight here (suburb 50 miles east of SF) but today is just absurd - it is currently 111 degrees.

last night when I went to bed at 11pm it was still over 90 and when I took my kids to soccer this morning at 9am it was already over 95.

[MIJB#19]

Could it be a sign of global warming?

[SackAttack]

Poor baby. It was 112 yesterday and it's hotter than that today - and that's a normal summer for us

[duckman]

We had 14 straight days of 100+ degrees until a cold front came through yesterday to drop it down to a chilly 92 today.

[Lorena]

I remember it being 100 degrees in the morning when we lived in Phoenix... not pretty at all.

[RendeR]

Not really, appears to be more of a cyclical hot summer scenario thats been seen before and will likely be seen again.

[Schmidty]

It got up to 95 here yesterday, and it was 93 degrees today. That's insanely hot for this area.

[RendeR]

Here in Buffalo last summer it was 90 degrees for more days than its been in teh history of the region (or at least as long as they kept measurements) but this year its been cool.

These are the things that happen in life that you get to tell as stories to your grandchildren. Stop worrying about the heat, enjoy and take solace that you'll have stuff to talk about when you get old and decrepit.

[Franklinnoble]

About that hot in Placerville today... where are you at, Augustus?

Agreed... we need a break in this heat. Power was out here last night from about 8:00 pm until after 3:00 am. It made for a rotten evening.

Maybe you should head to the bay area... it's about 86 there today, I read.

[KJDelaney]

Big deal.

It cooled down today to 102. Tomorrow and for the rest of the week, we are looking at around 109-112.

Thank God we are moving to someplace cooler..........


Austin, Tx?

[st.cronin]

It's barely been over 90 here all summer.

I noticed your location will be Austin, gratz on the move!! Mind if I ask what's leading you here?

As far as Austin being cooler than Vegas... not too sure about that. It's a different kind of heat. The air here is heavy and it kinda reminds me of spending summers at the beach in Southern California. Not sure if you know this, but Antmeister and myself spent 3 LOOOOOOONG years in Phoenix and I hated every single summer. It was nasty and dry, I didn't like it.

I much prefer 100 here than 115+ in Phoenix.

Oh and we've been here for almost 3 months, so not too sure what the weather is like year round.

[Lorena]

dola,

We've been flirting with 100 degrees out here but at least it's sprinkling which I can't say happens out in the desert.

[Lorena]

dola,

after looking at the forecast, it'll be between 91-98 here for the next 10 days with possible showers for 4 of those days.

Cyclical hot summer scenario huh? I sure hope so but considering all things equal we better start to adapt to extremes in temperature soon as a species.

It's called air conditioning. It works for me.

[21C]

57 here right now.

[HomerSimpson]

Not really, appears to be more of a cyclical hot summer scenario thats been seen before and will likely be seen again. That is why I keep scratching my head to all these chicken little's running around claiming this is a sign of our empending doom. If you look at these records that are being broke, most of them are from 100 years ago.

In 1916 how many leaking Air Conditioneers were there?
In 1908 did we have that big of problem with Aerosol cans?
And, I guess those 1898 trafic jams were a real pain in the but with hundreds of cars on the road.:)

[Glengoyne]

113 here today. It feels like Phoenix.

[molson]

The weather of an individual place and time has no relevance to the discussion of global warming.

But it's completely illogical to go from that point to "global warming doesn't exist",

[HomerSimpson]

But it's completely illogical to go from that point to "global warming doesn't exist",
I know, I generally throw the "global Warming", greenhouse gas, and ozone layer nuts into the same pile.



Besides everyone knows the world is comming to an end on December 21, 2012 anyway.:)

Call Al Gore, he will tell you what the hell is going on.

You should just e-mail him. What do you think he invented the internet for?

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

It was 117 here yesterday, 112 today. Come stay at Casa de Rahn in July and you'll soon learn what hot really is. ;)

[caspanky]

AgustusM, we must live pretty close to each other. I'm in Tracy. Was wonderful working tonight, as the air conditioner in my store was broken. The thermostat said it was 98 in our store. We kept taking turns walking out into the mall where the a/c was working.

yep we are in Brentwood, less then 30 minutes away.

worst part of the heat for me is we were in football camp all week and I was standing in the direct sun for 4 hours on the turf every day - of course the players had it worse with full pads on.

It does a little bit more when two individual places at the same time, but 9 hours in time zones away are breaking the same kind of records.

It took Mrs. SpeechCoach 5 years before she stopped bitching every single day about how hot it is and how much better San Diego is during the summer. This summer has started the complaining again, and I can't disagree.

[Galaxy]

Is Arizona humid, or is it pretty dry?

[Lorena]

Is Arizona humid, or is it pretty dry?

Yup, really dry. So dry, in fact, that a mere crack of a smile can make your lips bleed.

[AZSpeechCoach]

Dry heat my ass! 118 is still 118!

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I told Arlie he has two years. Two years to get me the hell out of this state, or buy me a vacation home somewhere cooler. Otherwise Baby Rahn and I are leaving and he can roast out here all by himself.

I tend to get a tad bitchy when I burn my hand on my seatbelt/steering wheel/everything.

We really haven't been back to San Diego that much this summer. If we could go back and avoid MSC's family, then we probably would be just fine. :)

[Lorena]

Dry heat my ass! 118 is still 118!

Yup, agreed. I hated burning my hand on the handle of the car, then again on the steering wheel, and again on the stick shift. We couldn't even feel the air conditioner at times. I'm glad one of those summers I worked graveyard shift so I could avoid the nasty heat.

Oh yeah, San Diego is awesome around summertime. Seaport Village was the place to go during this time. Where else can you go shopping and be right at the beach? LLLLLOOOOVVVEEE IT!

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

My plan was to take Baby Rahn and spend the entire month of July with my parents in Santa Barbara. I stress that was the plan. Didn't really work out that way.

Yup. I keep trying to get MSC to take me back to Seaport Village, but we never seem to quite get there. Too bad I go back to the classroom in a week. :(

And leave poor Arlie behind? What kind of horrible person are you? ;)

Someone has to make all the money so I can enjoy my life of leasure. Certainly isn't going to be me. :rolleyes:

San Diego is heaven, I only wish it was in commuting distance of Phoenix, I broke a sweat watering the yard tonight :)

Bring the computer along. He can code between beach sessions. :cool:

I had a friend that lived in Tracy about 10 years ago. He said the only thing to do out there was G and smoke weed.

I had to spend a whole day in that heat out in the Wood a couple of weeks ago. Not pretty.

I'm not sure Farrah would be into that, just think about what happened when Daivd worked on Maximum Football during his honeymoon.

[Glengoyne]

I'm sad that I'm old enough that I have to infer what you were doing with his sister.

[AZSpeechCoach]

Sure, but the difference is that I'm sure that Arles puts more than "2.5 man years" into his games. And, they already have a kid. He won't get distracted.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

TDCB was released on/around our first wedding anniversary and Christmas. Needless to say with that release, I didn't see much of him for our anniversary or that holiday season.

One Valentines Day 2002, I fell asleep in the sexy gift he gave me, waiting for him to finish tech support on TDCB. I waited for two hours.

In the crunch to get TPF out the door in 2003 he completely forgot my birthday. To the point where I got a blank stare when he couldn't figure out why I was pissed.

During the summer of 2005 getting everything ready for our first baby was left to me. Every spare moment he had was devoted to testing. I was 8 months pregnant and assembling the nursery furniture myself.

In September of 2005, he worked on BBCF during the day while I was still in the hospital recovering from my C-Section. I think he even brought his laptop to the hospital.

It's very difficult to pull him away when he gets into these things. He's focused on a game and nothing else, so I've had to set some rules. I don't end up a bitter old married woman resenting my husband for loving his computer more than his family. He is not allowed to work on a game on vacation, or he doesn't get to go with us. :)

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

Dola - I'm proud at how dedicated he is to his dream. Forgetting my birthday or ignoring me on Valentine's Day isn't a big deal to me anymore. But now that we have a child, who won't understand why Daddy works so much, it's important that we have rules like that.

[dawgfan]

One thing to note about high temperatures in Western Washington is that, unlike, oh, everywhere else in the country, AC is not something that is standard in most homes here. Since our temperatures normally top out in the high 80's in the summer with the rare climb into the low 90's, the vast majority of homes and condos here don't have AC. So, when it gets up into the high 90's, there's no relief at home.

Excellent point. I'm going to have to figure out some sort of similar limits for the two of us. Without some limits, we might spend more time working on speech and debate (tournaments, coaching, worrying, working with leadership) than actual married stuff. I like the way you think. :cool:

[duckman]

We managed to creep back over the century mark today (102) after a 3 whole days of seasonable weather. What sucks about is that is humid up here today too, so the A/C is not doing as well. :(

It was a necessity. His game work is run out of our home, and when I was still working with him on .400 we had a difficult time leaving work at work. It seemed like we were always working or talking about work. I remember once we even talked about game stuff while we were lying in bed trying to fall asleep. It was starting to wear on us. So we set some guidelines - like when we would shut the doors to our offices, we were done with work for the day. It's been great since.

Sorry for perpetuating the threadjack...

I own my own business and work from home - that is a constant battle. I love the flexibility to coach my kids sports and go on field trips and stuff - but it is hard to ever truly feel like I am "off" of work.

[AZSpeechCoach]

I can empathize. I still work for "the man," but with my responsibilities as president of the state coaches association and the state governing board, I sometimes feel as if I'm "always on." If I'm not mediating a dispute, then I'm planning to run the next tournament.

[AgustusM]

Back on topic about how f*** hot it is - what really pisses me off is that everyday I look at the weather online and it says today will be over 100 but tomorrow will only be mid 90's and we will see 80's again in about 3-4 days.

Problem is that it keeps saying that EVERY DAY. and everyday the forecast is for 100 and it ends up being 112. :mad:

[AZSpeechCoach]

After last night's rain, I'm feeling pretty good right now. It seems like the perfect mix of heat and humidity. Pkus, they are predicting rain every night from here until next week, and sub 100 temps a few days this weekend.
