110F in August is a cool day. :D

Seriously, we have had some rather mild summers the last two years.  Which means we are due for a really bad one.  Just hope it is not this year tater or what I said above could be true.

Louisiana is worse, maybe not 110 here but it's more humid which makes it more miserable.

But we had 90 degree temps from the end of April through mid-october. That sucked.


Actually I think we are in for a nasty severe weather season. We've had it easy for the last 4-5 years.

After living in Palm Beach County, FL...

I laugh at people who complain about the "humidity" in Ohio.  HAHAHAHA!

It's like fresh arctic air.

I laugh at the people in the south who wear sweatshirts when its 60 degrees is cold.  Come up north to CT and all the other New England states in the winter.  Find out what real cold is.

We've had 110 days a few times, its pretty rare for it to get that hot here. But, it can get awfully damn hot. And not to mention the 30-50 mph winds which we seem to get every other day. :)

Have lived in Ohio, Florida AND Texas.  Heat and humidity in Ohio can be very uncomfortable.  In Florida, it can be smothering and depressing.  In Texas, on the Gulf Coast, its just plain crushing and unbearable.  
In high summer, you plan each day based on the spending the shortest amount time running between air conditioned environments.  You go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned store and then back again.  When finished you feel like you've completed a full EVA mission in a hostile environment... and you have!
I mean people have fully airconditioned homes, INCLUDING their garages, just so they don't keel over getting into the car before its air conditioning kicks in.

I traveled for the company I worked for between 1980 and 1990 and made frequent visits to their plant in Plano which is about 15-20 miles from Grapevine. Usually these trips were in August. I pity you if it's the typical 100 in the SHADE that I used to get.

my first real job was a great paying job opportunity for a young man, welding in South and East Boston shipyards.  after the first winter I ran home and took an $8 dollar an hour pay cut to get away from from those rediculous winters.  In my beloved Florida I can always take off enough clothes to keep cool.  regarding texas, didn't William T. Sherman say "If I owned both hell and texas I'd live in hell and rent out texas"?

I used to live in Arizona, delivering in phoenix in a van with no A/C at 114 :confused: . Then I live in germany 6 years, and oregon almost 1, and when I am out delivering here I turn the A/C on at 55.
