I know, it's shown up here, along with mosquitoes, the only thing that's good about it, is the memories it will leave this winter.

Come to Seattle dudes, I think it's been over 80 twice this year. I think we've been below average temps for 99 days out of 100 this year. Heat stroke is not as much of a problem as drowning in a mud puddle.

It's been near 100 here for the last few days with 80%+ humidity with heavy rains passing through.

Not Again OOOOhhhhhMMMmmm........

I just read that article flybox, it says in Everett, you guys up north, haven't officially broken 80 yet this year.

Rain or shine I rode to work today and I am going to Backfire tonight! Come hell or high water (probably high water)!

im about 10 klicks east of everett.  i think we hit 80 ???
well, at least my digital (in the shade) therm said we did. ::)
i got grass that hasnt burnt to death yet so i'm still mowing(when my mower aint choked with wet mulch on each pass), weeds growing all over from the excessive moisture, and an overflowing rainbarrel.
i'm done with it.

Right now in the "D" it's 91*, the heat index is 100.  Low is 80* for tonight.  Tomorrow even hotter.

I rode by a strip mall two days ago, lots of black pavement, Bank thermometer said 115. Usually the van thermometer, which is optomistic about record highs, only said 111. Seen the same  111  before this year.
