    Ellie, I've been in snow like that while driving, and it is terrifying! The worst time I had was taking a mountain route years ago...and there was a semi in front of me, thank God!

    It's 87.8 F here right now - that's +31 Celsius!

    Yes Candace - I've had the blinding snow too. One time a blizzard set in while I was at work, and it had been snowing for several hours before they closed the place down. I only worked about 5 miles from the house, and it was just a 2 lane country road to get there and less than a 10 minute drive. Driving home was brutal - it took almost an hour - and the only way I could tell if I was actually on the road and not headed for the shoulder and some farmer's field - was to try to see the utility poles and follow them. Mother Nature can certainly play tricks on us, and probably sits back and laughs at us crazy people and how we cope with these tricks.

    She redeemed herself today tho - it's one of those rare, beautiful summer days - and I won't be seeing any of her nastiness that I had to deal with a couple of days ago. Forecast is for temps in the low 80's, low humidity, and right now there is a beautiful clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight. It won't last tho,, but I'm not even going to check the extended forecast and let that ruin today for me.

    I think Wolfy and I are going to head out to the beach a little later. I've been wondering how he'll like it, and today would be the perfect day to find out. Hope everyone out there is getting a break from the heat for at least one day.

    Not hot here at all. It's unusal but I guess we are experiencing the POLAR VORTEX here in the midwest. It was 69 degrees yesterday. Today will be 73 degrees but very seasonable, fall like-weather!

    In my bedroom it's 27,3C. My blinds have been shut all day, it doesn't seem to help. I want to go and sleep in the yard! Who can sleep in a bedroom that is over 81F?

    No heat to speak of in SE Michigan so far this summer. I even wore socks to bed a couple of nights ago - it was that or get the flannel sheets back on the bed

    Right now it's 89F (32C) with 61% humidity. It's hot out today! We're supposed to get thunderstorms after midnight, though and the forecast for tomorrow is low 80s.

    I can!! I volunteer as tribute!! GIMME THAT WEATHER!!! We have over 110F here!! Well, now, thank God, the weather's getting better! The monsoon season's coming so when it's a bit windy, the rain cools the temperature a lot (otherwise it's just humid and sticky... ) 81F is actually awesome weather for us! We're all very happy when the temp.'s in 20's(C)!! And it's 87F right now. Not bad weather! It's really humid but I don't really feel it, since I'm sitting under a fan.. but, normally a fan isn't enough these days...meaning the weather's nice!

    Oh and according to Yahoo! Weather, it feels like 104F...I'm guessing the 81% humidity has something to do with it... :P

    OOh, Sana - you would freeze here! Paul looked at me this afternoon (it was about 74°F) and said, "I thought this was supposed to be summer!" I like this weather fine, but he'd rather have your weather!

    89.6 F here today - 32C.

    AND rather humid.

    High of 27 for tomorrow and cooler by the weekend.

    We got a thunderboomer tonight and some actual RAIN! What a relief!
