Baby it's cold outside

We had near record lows yesterday morning and again this morning, upper 50's, and highs in the mid 80's. The humidity is low and the temps are comfortable. That being said we are expecting near record highs starting tomorrow for 3 days, 100. 

We're hot again in mid Michigan - and humid.  Yesterday was 98 but today is supposed to be cooler with a high of 88.  For us, this has been a very hot and dry summer.  I love the heat but don't love that our agriculture business is suffering. We had an all time high of 104 a couple of weeks ago.

The grass is so brown it hurts when your skin touches it.  One day the Grands were in the little blow up pools in our yard and when their mamas went to spray more sunscreen on them, they started crying and screeching - their moms figured out that the grass had scratched their little legs and feet to the point where the sun screen hurt.  Poor babes.

Hi Eph!  It has been a long time.  I just hate when life (and emergency abdominal surgery - dang it) get in the way!  Glad to "see" all my BC friends

Meece-right at 100, & when we drove thru Redding on Sunday it was 103!

We've gotten a bit of a reprieve in Michigan - only in the low to upper 80s and no 90s in sight.  Although, the humidity has gotten a little out of hand so the 80s feel like low 90s but better than feeling in the 100s.  We've gotten some rain so the low areas are looking green but still not enough rain to help our farmers.  The corn crop is not going to be very good this year and the cherry trees in Traverse City, the cherry capital of the world (4 million cherry trees), tanked because of the weather which has not helped our economy at all!!

Glad to be back and see all of my friends on this thread.  Thanks for nudging me Meece!

With my aversion to weather talk, I haven't posted on here at all this year.  Also, I don't even post the state I live in, so if and when I post something, what does it really mean?  But I will tell you this:  I live in a drought plagued area that also set a record for the driest July ever (or in the last 125 years, at least) with only .32" or rainfall.  The average of the daily high temps. was 97 degrees.  It's terrible and this summer has been no fun.  Now put some Tamoxifen hot flach on top of that, and it is just a double dose of misery. 

And Meece, I might have to stop by the Elab thread and confess how much ice cream I have taken to eating just to try and stay cool, not to mention the poundage put on due to the lack of desire to ride my bike out in the biblical inferno we have going on here.  

Brown grass, check!  Brown weeds, even!  Tumbleweeds on main street...not yet, but I do keep a lookout for them.  I know they are out there. 

Sounds divine to me!

Well that's too bad considering it's August.  But it's supposed to be 102 here tomorrow-yuck! I'd love to come visit, but some other time. 

So what do you Californians consider winter?

Sounds very much like the winters I experienced when we lived in HongKong,Cold and Damp.

Here in Canada its the cold and snow that keeps us hopping.Right now we have a warm spell canstill wear summer clothes but it won't last.I have already closed our pool and winterized the outside tap and aircon unit.We have started booking our winter escapes as well.
