NJ: The Nation's Turkish Bath. |
|
Jeebus. You have to chew the air before you breathe it today, to liberate the oxygen. Hotter than the hinges of hell.

1. Chicago feels like that, too. |

And we are getting the remnants of Arlene next week.

2. Ah, the state where your bath towels never dry. |
|
Lived in NJ for 5 years (college & grad school). I remember one summer when it rained, and you literally could see the steam rise from the ground and re-form clouds, then dump rain again.
Air conditioning is your best friend.

3. So very right. I hate winter, but lord was it gross today. |
|
At least it cools down at night.
I really need to get a portable air conditioner.
I can't imagine living in Texas or the Deep South during the summer. Ewwww.

4. Like that in PA today too. |
|
Put your hand out and water condenses on it. You could see it hanging in the air. Exercising in weather like this feels like wearing a thick, wet, warm wool blanket. Yuck.

I used to live in Ridgewood NJ, and yes, it did get pretty damn hot in summer, but it wasn't anybody's armpit by any means - I'd probably trade you anywhere in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas - in fact anywhere south of Philadelphia at this time of year - as truly unlivable without A/C.

But Houston bests us with the fine patina of petroleum distillates on everything, which when it rains, makes everything slicker than snot on a doorknob.

I lived in Jersey--ok, in Hoboken, where I was an undergrad for three semesters--and still remember driving from Baltimore (home) up the turnpike Sunday evenings. It always struck me as something out of a bad scifi novel. Elizabeth, that is, not the turnpike or Hoboken.
Then again, Houston really is yucky. We moved from Rochester, NY, here last summer, and I can't decide which is worse: the cockroaches and humidity, or the wind and 120 inches of snow.

9. Why God created air-conditioning: DC in the summer |
|
A friend from Alabama says that DC gets just as miserable as Alabama in the summertime. The difference is that Alabama just has more days of it than DC.
Nothing like them cold northern states like New Jersey.

12. What are you guys doing with our weather? |
|
Not that I'm complaining...
Actually, it's pretty temperate here (SC) at the moment, but it can't possibly last. Of course I've been saying that for 3 months now
