What is the temperature where you live?
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 02:10 PM by smbolisnch
It is 95 freaking degrees and HUMID here. I can't take much more of this. Even my animals are lying around like slugs, and we have central air. Yesterday, the dogs, Linus and I slept all day. Granted, we were up until 4 am fighting anti PETA threads, but still. Yuck. How long till Spetember?

1. About the same here.
Virginia is notorious for the humidity.

2. I am in misery, I tell you.
I can't imagine not having central air. I really can't. :scared:

3. It's hot here in No. Georgia.
The high is supposed to be 90, but the humidity is low. I don't know about your area, but here September is more of the same. We don't start getting cool weather until the middle of Oct.

4. September here is 70's during the day, crisp and cool at night.
PERFECT weather, in my humble opinion :P

5. It's been raining for a week.
So, nice and cool. :)

More like a normal Alaskan summer actually, than what we had been experiencing.

6. You mean, you don't live in an igloo? (Edited, lmao)
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 02:26 PM by smbolisnch
:P Just teasing.....
I am not a big fan of rain, but if cool weather comes along with it, I'll take it!

Edit: I just had a brain fart - I looked at my post and laughed so hard. I hope you don't live in an eskimo. :rofl:

I meant IGLOO :P

8. Must have been all those Eskimo posts I was making...
In your Atkins thread. :spank:

Actually, I might be living in an igloo. One of my e-mail addresses is igloo iguana. A lizard (dragon) living in an ice house makes an interesting visual. :silly:

7. I've always wanted to live in Alaska.
My father almost moved us to Juneau (which, I could be wrong, but I hear is much more temperate than what people think of when they think Alaska). Instead we ended up in some bumfuck part of Virginia. :eyes:

I'm still planning on making a trip at some point. Being afraid of flying makes it quite a trek for me though.

11. Yay!
Come here. I could use the company. :)

Actually, truth be told I'm not crazy about flying myself. After 9/11 I stayed off a plane for over four years. And I've driven the Alcan Highway (with my dad) twice to Oregon and back to avoid having to take a plane.

Yes, Juneau is more temperate. It's a lot warmer all over the state than it used to be, but if you're used to hot temperatures you probably wouldn't mind it. I'm not, and it drives me nuts.

14. Oops.
I can't add. I'm always thinking 9/11 was in 2000, but that was a different disaster. :puke:

9. Currently 77º in Seattle
The forecast calls for 90º later on, dropping back to 60º tonight.

90º is pretty hot for Seattle--almost no one has AC.

And those @#%! Blue Angels are driving me nuts.

12. It's awful and it rains every day.
And if anyone asks you, that's exactly what you should tell them.

Heh, heh, heh.


Actually, it is pretty nice. We don't get much in the way of humidity and the temperature stays fairly moderate.

It's a nice town--lots to do if you visit!

13. We're having Seattle weather today & everyone but me is whining.
I love it!! Of course I don't know if I'd like 30 straight days of it, but I'd like to see if I would!

My husband & I would really like to relocate to the northwest. Seattle looks like one of the prettiest cities -- so lush & green. How costly is the housing there? Is it veg friendly? What about jobs?

Arghh! I know what you mean about telling people your location sucks & to stay where they are. Colorado use to be a really nice place to live then everyone found out about it. Now we have traffic, unbelievable pollution, outrageous sprawl. Progress is so lovely.

20. That's cool for this time of year
It's not hot until it's over 100. :) 102 tomorrow, but it looks like it'll be in the low 90's next week, which is perfect since the state fair starts then.

19. It's 97 right now just south of Austin, where I'm visiting.
I heard it was going to be 90 in Seattle today (where I live). It's not humid in Seattle, though, not like it is here.

I feel like when I go outside here, I'm not breathing air... it feels like I need gills too.

Sort of like breathing through a wet washcloth. Yuck.

I could tolerate heat with no humidity.

27. Oh, it's very typical.
One summer we had two weeks of temps ranging from 100-112 degrees, with heat index of 120. Summer is always brutally hot down here, and we are all spoiled by AC. Don't know how to do without it.

28. I give you credit.
I couldn't live there. If I did, I'd be so mean that I wouldn't have any friends :P
