Apparently the mid-west is also in a but of a heat wave, my wife is in Wisconsin right now, she's reporting 95 degrees and the humidity is killing her.

Meanwhile, we're STILL waiting for spring to hit here on the west coast. Up in Lake Tahoe, we are still getting snow! No joke, it was snowing last week in Lake Tahoe.

In fact, last week's snowstorm made it official because it was June. We had a really early snowfall in October, and an abnormally long winter. We've gotten snow every month for NINE MONTHS!

Sounds like regular Texas weather to me. We are in Willis Texas about 60 miles north of Houst and it has been 105 high during the day and 86 at night here for the week and it will be summer in no time. Humidity level is about 60 to 70 percent

That’s normal around here. It’s funny when people up north have a heat wave they cry like we do when it snows down here. If your not use to it, the heat can be brutal, just like that cold chit ya’ll get up there. To top it off my well sanded up and I need a new one, and it’s going to be 3 weeks before anyone can get to it.

I would suggest everyone stand up wind for awhile! lol

Over here in the Northeast PA its been hot as hell for the passed few days. Today it hit 98 then dropped to low 70s upper 60s after a real bad thunder storm. It went from freezing temps and snow right into 85+ temps plus rain for about 8 weeks almost straight. We skipped right over spring.

Same here but with a tool belt strapped around my waist building a deck by myself. :p It sucks when the tool belt starts to pull your pants down and you pull them back up along with everything else...

Been high 90's here lately but the humidity up around 80%. I'd take 100+ in dry heat over this humid *** weather any day. The humidity here is just smothering. Feels like you're walking around in a sauna.

I'd trade walking over lifting soaking pt wood swinging a hammer and splinters!

You say that now lol, but imagine the weedwacker vibrating the hell outta your hands, the noise and vibration from the blower or maybe when edging with the weedwacker getting hin the face and arms with bits of dirt, grass, rocks, etc.

Id trade you all day long, splinters can be fixed with some good gloves.

Once I hit around my late 40’s I found that the heat seemed to drag me down much more then before.
