Enjoying the Weather?….
How’s those temps been the last week or so up there in the Great Northwest…. eh?….. Yep, I thought I would send you Northwesterners just a little taste of our Oklahoma summertime weather…. I wasn’t able to include the usual high humidity that we have though, but, I think you got the general idea…..
I’ve been sittin’ back and enjoying the pitter-patter of “Raindrops that keep fallin’ on my head” and much cooler temps than we normally get here this time of year….. I’ve been so relaxed and lazy the past week, I just blew everything else off and caught up on some reading…..
BUT, Alas, all good things do come to an end – The “Heat Dome” is on it’s return trip to Oklahoma as I type this with triple digit highs predicted by the middle of next week….. Oh, well, it was a nice break and everything’s green around here instead of the usual burnt brown we have in July and August….. No need to say “Thank You”, it was my pleasure to send you Seattle-ites a little of Oklahoma summer….. Hope you enjoyed it (Ha-Ha)………

HOT! VERY HOT! No AC. Hit 103. No AC. Hard to type. Fingers melting.

Welcome to our nightmare!

Did it really get to 103 there, Anon?….. Man, I feel for you, but, all should be well, or, at least, better as the “Heat Dome” has now returned to it’s normal place and we are now having more of the 100+ temps….. The remainder of this week shows 100 or more through Sunday….. Then we get a break – it drops to 99 for a couple of days…. I think we are going to more than pay for that short period of cool, wet weather we stole from you…… Well, it’s Summer, and it is Oklahoma….

Yes, 103. Only the second time Seattle has hit 100 and a record. Also record number of days over 90. Going for a record number of days without rain. Cool weather has returned. Heading for the dry season.
You poor, poor bastards in the heat dome.

Having been up there in 1994 when it hit 100 degF, I can vouch that those temps are absolutely miserable (and frankly, dangerous for some people) with no A/C. In the middle of the country, it’s just summer.

We had a basement to hide in. Don’t know what jek did, His basement is so full of stuff you can’t swing a dead cat. I think he still lives.

More crap == more insulation. He’s probably still in bunker mode.

Yeah, JEK told me they had been holed-up in the guest bedroom, which is located among all the “more crap = more insulation” (as HS says) in the basement of their house…… Looks like you are off the hook – at least for a while – as the “Heat Dome” has returned to us and it’s back to normal summer…… It’s hot and it’s humid, but, we are somewhat conditioned to the heat since it’s been hot around here since April, and, everybody has A/C in their homes….. We’ve had a couple of power outages, and, it was tough putting up with the heat….. I can’t image how it was for you in Seattle without A/C and not being used to the extreme heat….. My sweaty hatband off to ya, Anon!……..
