The Heat Is On...Still - Page 4

My Texas GF just texted and said she has had two weeks in the 100s near Austin. 109 yesterday and cooled to 102. Watering flowers three times a day. She put in Solar Panels so better off as neighbors spending $300 or more on air conditioning. Her dogs will stare at the Thermostat to to turn on air conditioning.

I will be enjoying upper 70s all week Up North. It is a trade off as she enjoys Spring Irises in April and I am still shoveling April snows. I have learned to layer and walk all year long and wear Yaks that I leave on a pair of boots.

@Linmo We are pretty close. I am just praying we don't have them, we did last year, when it wasn't hot. I used to live in San Carlos, Palo Alto, thenLos Altos. I graduated from that big high school across from Stanford on El Camino. I live in Southern end of Santa Clara valley now, and it is blistering hot. Believe it or not we just got A/C.last year, I can't imagine how we did it...but we did. Our house just was built before people put a/c in homes. It was a huge process to have installed because of the asbestos they used in older homes But I am so happy to have had it done,!

I haven't had the heat on here in Georgia since January. It will be another 2 months of AC. Then hopefully both AC and Heat will be off a few months.

I am in the Seattle area and we have a heat advisory for Sun and Mon. I don't have A/C but it has been pleasant all summer. I haven't even gotten the fans out yet and it is August! I have the house closed up today - we have so many trees in our neighborhood that it stays relatively cool for a couple of days.

@shoekitty I just received a notification that there's a possibility of rolling blackouts tonight between 5 and 10 PM. Yesterday's blackouts in our area were mostly in Palo Alto, Los Altos and San Mateo and averaged about 2 hours.

They didn't indicate which areas may be affected tonight. You can check PG&E's website for updates or if you have NextDoor in your city/neighborhood, PG&E is posting updates on there as well.

My daughter was thinking of moving to Flagstaff. Since I have never been there, I will suggest we take some time and pay it a visit. We can not afford to go back to CA either, however, I am not sure even if we could that I would want to go back. The traffic is horrendous and there have been many changes, not for the better from what I am hearing from people. We aren't in any great rush so we do have time to figure it all out.

@panda1234 We don't go out in 110+ weather and are advised to limit activities, stay hydrated, and stay in where it's cool. I used to live on the east coast, and we stayed in if there was a terrible blizzard. Our extreme heat warning is a week long, and about now I'm missing snow.

@Desert Lily Thank goodness fot A/C grew up without it.
