Though, driving a farm tractor, you can smell the corn burning, lol!

August 1975 and April 1976 had the benefit of low dew points and solid W or NW subsidence. In the summer, it's very hard to have near record/record heat and low dew points just due to climo. Obviously, August 2, 1975 was exceptional. Nothing like that since. 100 even at ACK???? They struggle to even get to 80 in summer!

Januarid this winter?

Summer grade gasoline makes a big difference in my car.

Nope lol...

Contemplated J3ply

You completely missed the point, congrats!

Even still, the “choke” isn’t closed. Meaning the air/fuel mixture isn’t rich (burning more fuel).

lol, I love ju-ply

Electric rates are cheap here.. templeton light and power FTW

In the wake of Europe's record-setting June heatwave and the guidance suggesting that parts of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions could challenge July monthly and even all-time heat records, the climate change denial movement is desperately trying to frame the heat as ordinary summer heat. One example from a fossil fuel advocacy group's policy analyst in attacking a meteorologically sound post: In the past week, Belarus, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia set all-time national heat records. Austria, France (with 292 cities setting all-time records), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom set June monthly records. But to the ignorant, that's just "summer." The latest guidance suggests that the July 1-4 period could see locations in the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions challenge July monthly and even all-time records. But again to the ignorant, that's just "summer." And finally the ignorant policy analyst's claim, that nationally-recognized meteorologist Jeff Berardelli should use the "correct terminology" instead of "heat dome," it's the policy analyst who has no clue. From the AMS Glossary of Meteorology: Rather than making wild claims about subject matter with which he obviously is unfamiliar, he should brush up on the basics and put aside a belief system that is a repudiation of both science and reason. Arrogance and ignorance are a toxic combination for any profession. In any case, the extraordinary June heatwave is consistent with the warming global climate, including the rapid warming in Europe. No ranting, raving, or other forms of deflection or projection can erase what happened, much less undermine the science that is based on overwhelming and unequivocal evidence.

I remote start mine to cool it down

All electric all the time here at our complex. I have like a 2mo respite during the transition seasons when no heating/cooling is necessary, otherwise it’s a shitshow. Bills during those months run around $300mo for 750sf

Lol. We need either you or Wiz to change it . No one calls torch months by their real name

Bitch all you want about electric bills, at least your rate doesn’t go up every time trump does something fuckin stupid! Which is daily. Sad!!!

Jufry? Juply?

We torchtastic 4th.

So she’s started PT. Has PT homework she needs to do to work on back muscles. The surgical incision has just about healed up. She just finished her 1st 6wk summer semester class, Anatomy & Physiology I, starts Anatomy & Physiology II right after the 4th. Another 6wk compressed course.

Got a buddy that STILL has electric baseboard heating. That poor bastard loves summer ac bills!

Yeah many people gravitate to summer now. Only a few stragglers left behind who just can’t accept a warming world.

It's unfortunate that the ridge center trended east over the past several days. We could have had a shot at 100 locally with it better positioned further west, and we also likely would have prolonged the heat wave as well prior to ROF potential.

Picked up 0.01” so technically 3 days straight with measurable rainfall

Do you keep your house at 40F?

Add the expense of remote starting your vehicle to warm up before driving. Fuel mileage goes up in the spring.

lol, I wish.
