Heatwave!

Some how you all took our Florida weather from us- THANK YOU! Instead of being unbearably hot on the 4th of July like it usually is we had lovely temperatures in the lower 80's. We're back in the 90's now, but the cool front was wonderful while it was here.

You are welcome.

Could you take it back now? PLEASE!

Day 3 here of 93+ degrees, and humid to boot. Night temps in the mid 70's.

My poor little A/C is working overtime since Sunday. It's only a small single room unit, however with my open floor plan it has to cool 4 rooms and my open stairwell to the upstairs!! During the hottest part of the day cranked up on full, it only keeps the main area of the house down to 82 degrees or so! Still sweaty but better than 90. My electric bill is gonna be a doozy this month.

Only thing is Cami has to live in a separate room upstairs so she's got the full brunt of the heat. I have several fans up there blowing like crazy and her blinds all closed to keep the sun from beaming in. Poor thing. Although she seems to take the heat much better than I am. lol

AAAGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Yesterday in Trenton, the temperature hit 106! At 11:00 last night it was still 92. When I got up at 6:00 this morning temp was 85, by the time I left for work around 7:30 it was over 90. We're not sure we even want to know what it is now.

One of my co-workers and I decided that whoever invented air conditioning should be elevated to sainthood!

Much the same here, but I think we only hit 102 yesterday. It was 85 here at 6 a.m. today too. And I really don't even want to know what it is right now either.

Then it was panic time here for me - the a.c. went out!!! Called our regular guy and the office said no one was available till tomorrow. Hell - I'd be dead by then! Gave the girl on the phone a sob story about how I was a "senior" with some health issues and I needed to have a.c., and a guy was out in less than an hour. It was a simple fix - just a relay switch burned out in the blower fan motor, probably from a power surge, and it was back up and running in no time.

That was way too close for comfort!!!!

I'm happy to know your a.c. problem turned out to be minor and you're up and running again. And I do understand the health problems with this heat. It tends to make my diabetes go absolutely ballistic! With having to do more frequent testing I don't have any finger tips left.

THINK SNOW!!!!!

Carol, Thank you so very much for your picture of that beautiful snow! I love snow and can't wait for winter to come back!

Hey, that was quick thinking on your part, you didn't really lie though. I guess we're all hit with the same heat wave, since the weekend the temps have been reaching 39 which is not usual around here. The a/c has been running non stop and yes, the person who invented it should be elevated to sainthood. Were we really complaining about the cold just two months ago...our prayers have been answered.

My town had 4 days in a row over 100F. That hasn't ever happened, to my knowledge. It's cooler today, and we got a tiny bit of rain.
