I'm MeltingFollow

Global warming FTW! 33°C / 92°F outside right now.

My igloo is melting and my sled is stuck in the mud. What is a Canuck to do? Can someone turn down the thermostat to around 78°F please? That would be super.

85 degrees here. I just came in from lying outside on a blanket with my sunglasses on chatting with my friend while my son and his friend played in the sprinkler. Now, my son is almost comatose on the couch, falling asleep to scooby doo. Spent yesterday at the zoo, and the day before walking a mile around a nearby lake with the dogs and family. Let the summer weather begin. Im in heaven

yeah, but how hot is it down there?



Poor Mia :(

To me, everything over 85°F = high energy bills for AC and sunburns. My comfort range is 50-85°F.

This one time, I left home on a road trip to Florida wearing a winter coat and with the car heater turned on. By the time we got to Georgia, we had the heat off and were wondering why the inside of the car was heating up. I cracked open the window and was almost asphyxiated by the hot air that rushed in. Needless to say, we took off our coats and popped on the AC. We stopped to get get not long after and found that everyone was in shorts and t-shirts. They must have known we were Canadian, just looking at us dressed in long sleeves and pants. We then changed into more appropriate clothing for the climate at the rest stop.

I don't know if I really ever want to go back. It was too damn hot.

dont forget those little fans you can get that spray mists of water too. Oh yeah, and hats

No, they're "Canadian Dunking Pools"

hawt-toobes?

Wow, you guys are weenies.

Bring on the heat!

see Im all for the south. While I dont like hot hot days where the humidity is so dense you can cut it with a knife, at least down there, everything is airconditioned. You have the choice of swimming to cool down or crank up your ac. My house now has no AC. I can deal with it so long as Im wearing a bikini top and shorts,or Im outside playing in the sprinkler with my son. What I hate about up north is that there is 6-7 months where it gets so downright cold, even layering your clothes, its still too bitter to do anything outside. And I have the heat up and wearing 3 shirts and two pairs of socks, Im still shivering.

Give me hot weather with options to cool down over trying to stay lukewarm any day

That's all well and good for those who don't hate being inside in the summer. I need to get a laptop so I can post from Acadia, haha.

Where I live the Great Lakes regulate much of the climate. Just over the river they could be having a huge blizzard, but here it will be 10F degrees hotter and an overcast day. We do sometimes get "lake effect" snow though. Beyond that, it's usually no colder than -15 deg C. Works for me.

I could probably stand the heat for a few weeks. But it usually starts getting hot here around April (in the 80's), cools back down to the 70's for about 2 weeks, then all bets are off. High 80's to mid 90's until about the middle of October.

That's a lot of cool showers, heh.

It's not the heat so much as the humidity to me. Though, to be honest, I prefer it to be about 70 outside.
