91 degrees at 5 pm in Upstate NY !

[My lil friend]

It was 102 here today,Im not gonna look and see what the temp is right now. I dont want to know! We are not allowed to water our yards between 10am and 6pm here. So my sprinklers are going right now.

Kind of like an oven outside.

Yup! I decided i'm not going to complain, because....
1. Haven't had to mow my lawn in three weeks because of very little rain.
2. It's warm enough to go in my pool everyday, if I want to.
3. Winter will be here soon enough, without wishing it was cooler!

I think it was 109 today where we are !

Do those of you in upstate NY even have air conditioning? How about public places? I lived in Schenectady long ago, and don't recall any A/C. Hope you all stay cool enough!

[spr377]

yep, we do have airconditioning!

We left a restaurant in Dallas at 10:30 and hubby's truck mirror said 102!!!

Our AC is out. Went out last night about 9:30 pm and hvac guy says we need a new one, and he's 10 days out on service work.... Looks like fun for us the next 2 weeks!

We get really hot here about 5 and it was like 95 degrees the other day at that time. Its ridiculous

Please say a prayer for my poor DH and his co-workers. He works for the water department in a very busy little tourist town, and the temps have been above 100 degrees all week. That is ambient, and with the humidity, it is more like 112 or so! His poor little string-bean body is just about burned up, and most of the guys have suffered heat exhaustion. The GM doesn't get out of his A/c office or vehicle to experience this heat, and has no emphathy at all! I know I'm a little prejudiced, but I guess it will take a near-death to get his attention!

Sounds like you all should head to the Four Seasons! They'll spritz you with Evian while you sip yummy frozen drinks around the pool.

There should be a law against that! I wonder how much suffering will have to go on before there is?! Hopefully your hubby and friends will be okay!

Hahahahaha
I just know a lot of places up there don't have any A/C (althought, I wasn't aware of many without water or potties...shall have to keep my eye out for those ). DS is headed to NE to dorms that don't have A/C and I have a young friend at Renssalear that doesn't. Do most?

Thanks! I try to do my part by sending him off with fresh fruit/ iced tea, etc., but you're right, there should be at least an ordinance that requires city managers to have the employees that are in the elements to start work early and leave early, and to provide water (the least of creature comforts, health wise) and frequent breaks! This guy gets bent out of shape if anyone is "caught" sitting inside their work truck with the AC running. Last year it wasn't quite this bad, heat-wise, but DH had to go to the paramedics station because he almost passed out! This summer is much worse, but if anyone says anything to him, the GM either shines them on, or yells at them. What a (richard)!!!

Has he tried Emergen-C? You can even buy it at Wal-Mart, it is packets that you mix with water and there are several flavors.

AOL is currently showing 109 for my area, I think we are now on 42 days of over 100.

Pack the RV,take the dogs and kids and go to a nice RV park with a pool. Less to clean and you will have cable.

I always said when we get our pool I would wish for hot weather. Forget it, it's even too hot for the pool. My dogs and I prefer to stay in the ac and as much as we love our pool it doesn't even tempt me.
