  1. As much as I love the warm/hot weather, I just don't think I could work outdoors out here. As a commercial driver it's not bad, though.
  2. You want a nuclear furnace. Try living where I am for the forseeable future. I had to move out to Phoenix to help out my aging mother, and last weekend it was 115 on Saturday and 117 on Sunday at her house. This weekend (with the monsoon around) the temps will be milder at 98-102. Now, as you all know, I don't care for winter and like it mild, and will love it out here in a couple months, but hot damn, temps pushing 120 during the summertime are HOT...
  3. I'm glad. It was meant to be be tongue in cheek for anyone with a sense of humor! I'm ok with it. It's uncomfortable, but since I had my thyroid issues, the winter cold has been nearly intolerable for me.
  4. Capped off a great night (the Dbacks killed the Nationals 18-7) with a Monsoon ride home...
  5. Yup. As Canderson said, a retractable roof stadium. Keeps it about 75 to 80 inside no matter the outside temp. I was at the first ever game played here back in 1998 when it opened.
  6. I see that. The heaviest is to the south of town, but looks to be drifting northward. Meanwhile it's 110 again today out here in the desert.
  7. The Monsoon has kicked in. 50,000ft tops on this line of storms moving to the northwest from Mesa toward Phoenix and the NW Valley where I am. I just hope the Tamaqua Split didn't become the Sun City Split...
  8. Somehow, that would be my luck... Side note. It was about 15 years ago when the area had one of it's coldest morning's ever. Don't know if Phoenix set a record or not, but it was a Sunday (I always called them on Sunday morning) and they told me it was 16 degrees in Sun City. That afternoon it warmed up only into the low 40's.
  9. Yes it is. I may be out here awhile, and for me, it would be great if I could stay through this winter.
  10. Well it was...lol The monsoon is ramping back up, though. Had some rain last night and the DP is at 62 right now.
  11. A little warmer out here today than yesterday!
  12. Sunny and 109 in my new (old) location. I'm loving it!
  13. Must have been pretty bad in the Bethlehem area. I just a saw a pic posted on Facebook of a big tree down across all 4 lanes of US 22 between 512 and 191...
  14. As expected... Garden variety rain shower with distant thunder and dark clouds to me southeast, but the game's been postponed.
  15. You guys are experiencing what I get every storm event. Today is no exception here as well. The storm is getting it's act together south/east of me, just like last night's (and many before) action did.
  16. We had peeks of sun today, but it was mostly cloudy. As for the severe watch, I'm on the northern extent of it. That means maybe a "chance" of a thunderSHOWER. Whatever we get will be JUST enough to screw up my grandson's little league game, but not enough to be interesting or noteworthy.
  17. Me neither. I'd like to see one more of my grandson's ball games before I head west to take care of my mom....
  18. When I lived in Phoenix, sometimes the humidity would be as low as 2%.
  19. As long as it's not the Pine Grove/Tremont area again. Those poor folks need a break from flood events, but it seems like they sit under a geographic "shower head" every time we have a big rain event.
  20. I won't be. I'll still read and post here. I consider you all friends, even if we do have different opinions on which is the best season of the year!
  21. 94 with a 80 degree dew point in Lancaster as of the last hourly roundup for a heat index of 113. Unbelievable!
  22. That's what it looked like on the model guidance. 2-4 in most locations.
