Baby it's cold outside

It was in the low 80's today, nice breeze, 40% humidity.  Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! 

Salted Ice tea actually isn't too bad.  I avoid salt and salty food most of the time, and take blood pressure medicattion so I am at risk for heat exhaustion and have been through it before.  When I'm not drinking gatorade ( I don't have my supply of gatorade mix in the house yet) I put about 1/2  teaspoon salt in a big glass of ice tea or fruit juice.  It really doesn't taste bad, and even if it did it's better than the shaking, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting that a low sodium level produces!  I just did not take into account the humidity the other day and tried to do too much for my first day in the sun and heat.  

We are 100 degrees here today.  Extreme humidity (Suffocating).  But by Friday we're suppose to be down to 65 degrees.  Go figure.  That's Wisconsin! 

Mary in Phoenix, daily in the 100s?  Whoa!!  I've heard it's dry heat there, but at that temp, I imagine that hot is HOT.  no matter if it's dry or humid.  I like your summery avitar.  Taking the little one for a dip.  

We had temps in the 90's today and now we are getting a spring/summer pop up thunder storm. Don't really know how much rain because they are small fast moving storms. Weatherman said that we are above average temps for this time of year and I can believe it.

Our weather has been so weird.  We're supposed to be close to 100 by this afternoon and then, like faithroad in Wisconsin, we'll be cold and in the 60s by Friday.  Have been without cable and internet at home due to storms on Memorial Weekend (I may have mentioned that already.  We're finally up ant running at home.  Work has been so busy that I haven't been able to get on much but decided that today I'd get on whether I put off some of my work or not!

Have a great day everyone.

Temps gone up 25 degrees since I got up, and the humidity along with it.  Going to be a day to work inside given that the heat index is going to be in the 90's, and a poor air quality alert is issued.  Want to work in the garden, but not a good idea.  Tomorrow will be better for that.  I may get out the lawn tractor and mow later, maybe. 

Thunder storms started up early this afternoon, usually they hit about 5 pm, they started up at 3 today. Earlier temps were in the 90's but since the storms came through, the temp has dropped in the 70's.

Ahhhh.  Dew points are in the basement again, temps down 20 degrees, time to get back out side to the garden! 

Two days ago we were 100.  Today we had a low 42 and a high of 57. We might be back up to 71 by Monday.  I like it when it's a little bit cooler.  :-)

Meece, 75-80 doesn't sound too bad. But since the hotflashes have started, I like it in the 60s and 70s.  Lol!

 However, I don't like our looong freezing winters here.

So 80-100 is summer weather for CA?  I was in Los Angeles in April once.  We spent time on Huntington Beach in our swim suits...silly Wisconsin-ite tourists.  We thought it was warm...but we were among very few on the beach.  We would have gone in the ocean, but a life guard told us there was a rip tide and not to go swimming.  I didn't care, It was the first time I had seen the ocean,  It was amazing.  I was 20 yrs old and very impressed.

I got a sunburn working in the garden and yard yesterday!  I was beginning to think sunburning was not going to be anything I would have to think about this summer.  Should have thought about sunscreen yesterday.  Not a bad one, fortunately, just enought to know it's there.  Going to be pretty  today, but with some chance of showers/t-storms.

It was in the 100's while I was in Phoenix, but no humidity and everytime I blew my nose, it was bloody.  When I got off the plane Thursday night home, I took a big deep breathe of humid warm air.  Love Florida.  It is supposed to get in the 90's today, but 50% chance of rain.  My 2 older grands have a "bowling" birthday party today.  The ex and his mother will be there.  It will be tense as the children have come to love us and are now calling my son "daddy."  And I get to hold Jacob.

Hi Faithroad, yes, that is my precious Jacob.  My first biologic grandchild.  I have 2 bonus grandchildren who are 6 and 4.  The B-day party was fine and the children had a wonderful time.  It is 93 degrees with no rain in sight.

Mary - what a joy to have grandchildren.  I'm a great Aunt, though I don't get to see little Nathan as much as I'd like.  His parents both work so hard.  He is an adorable three yr old.  And I have seven nieces and nephews.  (No children of my own)

This morning the sun is shining bright.  It's a crisp 45.  I'm getting ready to go to church.  It might hit 70 today.

It's later in the day now,  and it's freezing outside!!!!  Yowser!!  63, gray, cloudy, and cold.  I turned the heat on and dragged out my down comforter for the bed last night.  What happened to summer here in Wisconsin.  I blinked, and now it's gone.

Today is more tolerable than the past week, even though the temp is about 85 degrees the humidty level is below 50%. Also because of the lower humidy and slightly lower temp, the threat of thunderstorms is near 0 for the next couple of days!
