Burning off with thermo rocketing. Won’t make 90 but we’ll probably be in the 80s. I’ve taken on a work project in Worcester now through mid August. I am teaching a course that meets Wednesday and Friday PMs. Driving home yesterday had 80 in Worcester when I left, maintained upper 70s to 128, 60s by the time I got home.
Oh it’s coming and coming like you’ve never seen. Climate chickens coming home to roost. How often do we get this heat in May? 69/54 is what it’s supposed to be!
The 4th of July weekend 1966 was legendary. My friends and I went to the jersey shore and we basically fried. Sand was not possible to walk on for more than a moment. Everyone was standing on everyone else’s blanket. But hot Saturday 1975 (8/2/75) takes the cake. 103 at Logan, 100 at ACK! High dews and complete torpor.
That’s the fun of it! Why I’m glad to be alive! It’s raining today on cocky….
Just like the time I went for a 5 mile run in phoenix in July during the day. Part of the experience.
Agree but it’s warm enough and cloud free here. I’m sad extremes are gone but maybe the weekend? I don’t get people on a weather bb not wanting it as hot, as cold, as wet, as thundery, as snowy as possible.
How many will you have? We had 6 in our old row house and 2 monstrosities on the side of the house. But the heating was sufficient such that we didn’t need oil and we got rid of the tank. And that was a very cold winter (2013-14).
Depending on the state you may get a nice deal. In our previous house we put them in for $13k. Dumped the oil tank and window units. 7 year 0 interest loan. Basically I divided the total by 84 and the payment matched exactly. They worked great but they’re pretty ugly. We were in the current house for 3-4 years by the time I finished paying.
I’m at 74 and rapidly rising. Flipped the heat off and my finger is on the ac depending on how it feels at bedtime. Full shorts and t shirt mode. It’s here!
To my knowledge I haven’t ever had covid. I’m teaching a course this summer and have to get pcr tested once a week. So far neg. Some people seem to never get it...but I’m not sure I’m that person. I’ve been closely exposed often.
