Extremes In Temperature

[TheWickerFan]

If I seemed very cranky in my posts yesterday there's a reason.

I live on Long Island and a good portion of the Northeast part of the U.S. is experiencing a monstrous heat wave. The temperature stood at 105 degrees for most of the day, and it's expected to reach that again for the next couple of days. I can't recall it ever being this hot on Long Island before and I've lived here all my life.

Sorry for the rant, but when the temperature reaches over 100 degrees or goes below zero (which we also experienced this past winter) I tend to get edgy.

Dying in NY on the Lake. Had a massive migraine yesterday from the heat.

A lovely cool 69 degrees in L.A. It might get up to the high seventies.

I think I'lll go for a hike and then lounge by the pool before the evening fog and cool air rools in;)

Temperatures here aren't quite that extreme but its hotter than I'm comfortable with. Shame that all my bright clothes are packed for the holiday, I'm stuck in jeans and black tees here!

Are you from the U.K.? ScouseMac and FerretChucker said something about a heat wave in their area (not sure what part of England they're from, but I assume Scouse is from Liverpool).

[nightmare_of _death]

right now it's 89 degrees outside humidity is 36% and it's 90 degrees inside and no air conditioning in the house. :(

Oh God, how awful!

Luckily I discovered our system was broken back in April and had the whole thing replaced.

The heat wave is supposed to end tomorrow or Friday.

Take care of yourself. Don't be shy about going to customer's doors and asking for water; a lot of times they just don't think to offer it.

Im getting really cranky again. The damn humidex hit 45. So this is hell? What do you think?

We know our system is broken, but it's too much to really fix it right now. I really do home the heat wave ends soon!!!!

That only happens to the rich dumbfucks who build/buy in the burn zones. The chaparall burns naturally and when it's gone, there's nothing to hold the soil together in the rain, so wild fires and mudslides affect the same regions every year.

Where I live I can smell an ocean breeze blowing in the window and it's even getting a little chilly. L.A. is my favorite city I've lived in in the U.S. (and I've lived in Washington DC, NYC, Boston, Milwaukee, San Francisco and Kansas City).

Mountains, ocean, sun, no humidity and Hollywood!

Yup, its been hotter than usual recently but not unbearable. Complete lack of rain though has meant we are now officially in drought conditions in the north west of England, £1000 fine if you use a hosepipe.

We are quite lucky here in the UK, its the most temperate area on the planet so we don't generally suffer from extremes.

I wish there was a fine like that on Long Island; people just keep watering their lawns because they want them to constantly look like a green carpet. Grass just goes dormant in conditions like this, it doesn't die.

[novakru]

pish
lightweights
It's a 100 here every summer.
and I could deal with that if the humidity didn't make it 120:mad:

I hate this heat, makes me feel all evil and shit

SEE??
That makes perfect sense!

Don't get me started on lawns.
My neighborhood is the Stepford community with their perfect anally retentive lawns...you get fined for not having your grass cut a certain length and if the HOA deems your lawn 'unfit,' they hire someone to come cut it and you get the bill...usually marked up 300%.
This is the same HOA that wants all neighborhood cats to be on leashes...not allowed to roam and be...well, you know, cats.

Thank God there's no homeowner's association in our neighborhood; I don't think I could live with that.

Bentley Little wrote a great story called The Association about a homeowner's association that goes just a little further into controlling every aspect of a resident's life than your average homeowner's association.

I think I almost got heatstroke on tuesday, head was pounding, I was dizzy as hell, and I felt like I had to puke non-stop, luckily I was fishing, so all I had to do was take a nice swim in the lake. Thank god it cooled down today. I might even play some video games, which happen to be situated in my hot ass living room, cause our A/C is busted. Thank god for ice packs and fans.
