DD Said It Was 99 Degrees Leaving Work....

In flipping PA. Yes, we get 90 degrees over the summer, usually 3 or 4 and then it's over for awhile before returning. We have had days and days of this scorching humid weather.

If I drink anymore water I will float.

I don't want to wish my life away but making a fresh apple cake on a nice cool fall day sounds like heaven right now.

If the heat has to stay, let it go into November and December to keep the heating bills down.

I can't imagine living where this weather is the norm.

Everyplace is hotter than it used to be and this is probably going to be the hottest summer on record. You ought to be where it's in the mid 90s to over 100 every day from June through September with little or no respite. We have no choice but to grin and bear it.

@Kachina624 I don't care how beautiful a place is that kind of heat would kill me. I have felt like absolute h*ll since with weather started. My old body can't take it.

I can't do extreme heat or extreme cold, but a least in the cold I can add another layer. I'm a stripped down, no not nekkid, in my house as I can be. I had to go to the bank this am. My jeans and tee shirt came off in the laundry room as soon as I came in.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Every home, business and car is thoroughly air conditioned. I run errands early while it's cool. The rest of the day we hunker down like they do in January in Minnesota.

On the other hand winter days are gorgeous. I wear a jean jacket or sweater most days and there is plentiful sunshine. Rare gray skies are a treat.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Hasn't this PA weather been crazy? I live outside Pittsburgh and I don't remember when we've had so many consistently hot days in a row. The few (very few) days the humidity was !owed, it wasn't so bad. But when the dewpoint is 71 and the humidity is in the high 60's, it's almost unbearable. I went to the store around 12:30 this afternoon and by the time I got in my car it felt like someone threw a hot, wet towel on my head. We are supposed to get a break starting Thursday. At this point the mid-eighties are going to feel like heaven.☀️

I get what you're saying, but in the winter here, I can put on my parka and gloves, and still be comfortable. In the extreme heat, I hate being outside. 😰😰

@NEvans2 My niece and her family live outside Pittsburgh. They love it. They have boys 15, almost 14, 4 yr, and a 3 yr. old girl.

I called her today and she and all 4 kids were in the pool. Luckily, they have 8 acres on a dead end road. No neighbors to bother.

We have weeks where our low is in the 90's. Can't wait for October. We stay inside in the summer. Winter is our fun time. Would love to have a few rainy days.

@QVCkitty1 It was 104 in Williamsport Pa today. Awful. I can not stand it.

@Mombo1 Do you live in Williamsport? I know people there.

Searing hot here today. 105F. Tomorrow will be slightly cooler as the sky will be cloudy. Storms tomorrow. No cold front going through. It will resume back in the 90's after the storms. It's been this way over 3 weeks now. Storms frequently, but won't break the heat.

This has been an extremely hot summer for the Chicago area. Starting in early June if I recall correctly high 80's low 90's. It's suppose to go into the low 80's starting Wednesday this week. Amen. We could use a break. I do not enjoy the hot, humid weather we have having, I have difficulty breathing with my COPD. I stay in. This way I am safe and cool.

@Mombo1 I haven't been to Bloomsburg in many years. Last time was for the fair.

We did go to Danville to the hospital when DH had cancer. His surgeon relocated there. It was ways for us but we liked his Dr. and went there. That size of that hospital is impressive. Our local hospital has less than 50 beds.

Oh, the Country Cupboard in Lewisburg makes a great day trip.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Just curious...where do you live? I am very close to Danville Hospital. Yes very impressive. Actually my son in law works there. The staff is very nice.
As for the fair...hopefully they will cancel. The front page of the paper today read: Council: Call off Bloomsburg Fair! Fair officials will make the announcement by August 1st....I hope they do the right thing. Sure isn't worth the risk with thousands of people packed into the fairgrounds everyday.
And as for Country Cupboard...it is one of my all time favorites. My brother and wife are from Pittsburgh and they take a day trip to meet me there when we can get away. Great place to eat and shop.
Nice chatting with you.

@Mombo1 I live in NE PA about 30 minutes from the New York border. I live in the country, pretty much have to travel a distance for everything,

I live about 45 min north of Pittsburgh. Agree we have had quite a few days in the 90s. I have learned as long and the humidity and dew points are lower it is hot but tolerable for me. If humidity and dew points are elevated, it can be 75 out and I am miserable.

Last night we started a break in our weather pattern bringing cooler temps. Right now it is only 76.

@Kachina624 @CrazyKittyLvr2

Yep Kachina, I call summer my "self-imposed quarantine time!!!" And I think they need to build a statue in honor of the person that invented AIR CONDITIONING!!!

Now I LOVE what we call "winter" here in Texas.... Those cool crisp days....gray billowy slate colored skies.... BUT I've visited relatives during winter in the Northeast and the 40 below temperatures, and being bundled up from head to toe after just a couple days it drove me crazy!!!! So glad to get home....
