This heat is ridiculous - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkietalkjilly · 07-07-2012, 11:41 AM

We've only had a couple of days or so at 100 so far this year and Monday we are in for a cool down. I think we are going to 99 today. Monday, 92! I am sure D/FW will soon be slammed with a string of triple-digit days before too long. Last year we went weeks of straight triple digits! But then last winter, we never even got into the teens on the coldest night. I think 25 or something was my lowest temp one night. I never even had to wrap my outside pipes last winter. It was a breeze and after the summer we'd had, good compensation. Some winter days, I never even wore a coat out. But I'll bet we get the bad heat before too much longer.

Sorry you guys who aren't used to it are having such a bad time! If you are not used to it, and don't have excellent A-C and such, it can be just awful - the most miserable way to live. I simply cannot sleep at night if I am too hot. I don't know how all those folks without power so long stood being so hot for so long. I'll bet they are all fit to be tied!

Hope you get cooler weather very soon and that it lasts a good while.

Haha. Arkansas! We almost forgot what rain was like. It's not a heavy rain but we will take any we can get!

my2boyz · 07-07-2012, 11:51 AM

Well, lovely...our 'local on the 8's' was just on and we should expect a high of 111 with a heat index of 120

There is a bright spot at the end of the tunnel though...we have a 'slight' chance of a stray shower tonight...

Send some of that our way! I think we are going to get some tomorrow night and then cool off to the 80s this week.

We don't have curtain or shades on any of our windows in our great room because normally we don't need them with the trees surrounding the back of the house. With this heat, we had to cover the windows so the air conditioner can keep up.

You lucky dogs. Please send that rain North and South and East - oh, and the West could probably use some more! I did hear that the Denver & Colorado Springs areas got a bit of rain. We've not even had the worst of summer yet down here & I'm already wanting the cool brisk fall weather, leaves turning, when you can hear the high school marching bands practicing in the mornings & there's no burning sidewalks and baking ovens for cars!

I know. So many of us need rain. I wish it would rain for a few days here. At least I hope this brief shower might help the grass fires. There have been so many. Praying you all get rain soon!!!

Nope, none here...I think it's too hot for them!

I just checked our hourly forcast online and it lied...it said we would have thunderstorms at 3p.m. and guess what...it's 3 and it ain't rainin'!

I can send you some of them. They are great fish bait! I was killing them with a fly swatter off my rose bushes. They won. I was exhausted!

Shame on them lying weather men!

Weve got them and crickets they are really loud at night

yorkietalkjilly · 07-07-2012, 12:29 PM

Well, I am freezing to death right now. It is so cold in this darn house I'm bundled up in a sweater! Tibbe must love cold air - sprawled on his back snoozing.

JasmineNoelle · 07-07-2012, 12:41 PM

Raining in Fayetteville, Ar.......thank you Lord! The temp has dropped down into the 70's....wow! The rain smells wonderful. Praying for everyone who needs the rain to get it soon.

yorkietalkjilly · 07-07-2012, 12:46 PM

I can't believe it - radar shows rain miles away but we just got some clouds, a big burst of wind and some raindrops. Wish it would really rain. At least the clouds have temporarily cooled it some! No wonder I was freezing in here - it was getting cooler outside for a bit. Thanks for whichever Yorkie momma sent that rain this way. Oh! I hear thunder! Please God let it come on this way!
