Man is it hot here in Wisconsin

LT · June 27, 2001

We're in the mid 90s here. Very uncomfortable! I'm going swimming.

What's it like where you are?

Albany reports hot. But still not Tampa hot.

It sucks here in NH!!! At our house the temp read 96 on our back deck in the direct sun! Too much for me.

It's in the mid 90's in Houston with close to 100% humidity.

This sucks but it did start raining a little while ago so it isn't quite as bad now.

High 80s with too much humidity here in Illinois. Sure hope this doesn't blow up into some thunderstorms, sure feels like it could.

Swimming, thats a nice way to cool off. Much better than fixing the roof on two of our barns. Galvanized metal gets pretty dang hot in the late afternoon.

I'm sure this won't be popular, but since LT asked, it's about 68 degrees in my little town today. If it makes those of you sweating feel better, it did get up to 89 on Sunday :o That's about as hot as I've ever seen here. The flip side is, 34 below in the winter is quite common, and you may remember my post about it snowing earlier this month. Cracking a cold one for those of you in the humid 90's and a hard working Jpshostr!

90's all week here in MN. It gets old fast sweating out everything you drink in 20 minutes. Seems like my AC has been on max for a month straight. Those shingles and black tar paper get mighty hot! When it's 100 on the ground, it is 120-130 on the roof. We try to take breaks every 45-60 minutes to get some water in us. We are supposed to get cool down this weekend, only mid 80's (still too hot if you ask me). Am I in the Northern most state or what?

Tough it out guys and keep the AC on HI

Well you northen boys complain about the heat all you want. But me and yZR2k, 76BBSub, and any other members from the midwest/south are probably going to be looking at a month straight of 100 degree + days.....

And you know what, I'll even let you keep all those days! You always seem to send all that stuff up to us when it is time to bale straw though.
