Is it brutally hot where you live?

[GBRulz]

It's been in the 90s for much of the last week or so in the Twin Cities. Temps have dropped of late. But I love this weather and this heat. All I have to do is thinking about how horrible it is to step outside of the house in negative 10 degree temps and I remember how much I love summer.

Yeah, I know. I really don't belong in the north if I can't take the cold. Heard it over and over...

I ask myself the same question over and over....WHY do I live here. It's not so much the cold that bothers me, but from mid October until May, the trees are bare. The gray skies, the bare trees, can't do anything outside (snowmobiling gets old) and it's just blah.

And THAT's how I ended up in Florida.

[GBRulz]

and then you got tired of 95 + humidity for 8 months out of the year and then went to the east coast?

[MJZiggy]

No, didn't work quite like that. It was more of a career choice/family thing.

[GBRulz]

ok, gotcha.

I'm thinking in a few years of checking out Virginia/N. Carolina. I love the ocean, but also love having seasons, too. Which is why I won't move back to FL

The grey skies, humidity and winters played a big role in how I ended up out here.

It's been hot, but I wouldn't say it's been unusually hot. If you've lived in the Upper Midwest for awhile, you are bound to get a hot spell or two each summer. I remember in the summer of 1988 when it was 90+ degrees for the better part of a month--with a handful of those days being over 100 degrees. That was a severe drought.

Man, do I remember that or what.

I was 8 years old. My neighbor broke my writst while we were wrestling - no swimming for the entire summer. BRUTAL

I was in Arkansas this weekend. It was 108 when we landed and pretty humid before a big thunderstorm.

Just landed in LA - 112 at 7:30 PM. Nice, I love when its hot!

yeah, yeah, yeah.......summer is nice, but this 95-100 degrees with extreme humidity is getting way old. Bring on some sweatshirt weather and some football!!

My wedding day in June of 1995 was a record setter for humidity and temperature in the state of WI.

The temperatures from 10-10 ranged from 96-101 degrees and it was 99% humidity. We were married outside at a joint called Old World Wisconsin. Pretty cool place with historical Barn type setting............the reception was there as well...no air con......youza. And I was decked out in black all day. Lots of beer consumption and a couple DWI's for some attendees at that party.


Cheers,

I don't think people that don't live in the midwest really know what we mean when we talk humidity....lol I had lunch last week with my old boss who now lives in Florida and he even said the humidity around here is different than it is in Florida...worse for some reason. I don't know....last time I was in Florida I was a kid and kids don't notice or care about humidity.

Ah, Old World Wisconsin ... haven't been there since field trips in school. Sometimes I get out to McMiller Shooting range, though. It's right next door.

It's so fricken HOT here in Montreal, that my air conditioner is pounding out a calypso beat.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Dreadful humidity as well.

Bretsky,

I have toured Old World Wisconsin several times and loved it. Unlike you, I did not get married there(I was married in Rice Lake.)

That place gave me a complete appreciation of some of the hardships the first pioneers to Wisconsin faced.

OPF
