I can't wait till September either, it's the beginning of spring down here and the end of these freezing cold 45 degree nights and 60 degree days

It's been way to hot.

Temps in the 90's with 100% humidity, and now it's been raining for over a week. First too hot and now to wet.

I'm more of a fall and spring ,well and winter in south Ar, type of person.

We've had too many days in the mid 90's and we are in upstate NY, much farther north than should be getting these temps. I'll gladly take 60's days and 30's nights. Those are my favorite temps. We had 93 again today and the humidity was in the upper 90's too. Seems like when it gets like this there is never a breeze either.

No logging this time of year, too much brush to see where we're goin. Saw early morning and again late afternoon work in the shop or snooze a little during the mid day heat

Been extremely dry here and hot. Corn in the area looks really bad...uneven heights and leaves all curled up trying to hide from the sun. Tassles are shooting now, but with no rain in site it might be a tough winter for the farmers and for me buying skidder fuel (hay)

We are suppose to have our warmest day today, 94. I reckon I should get away from this puter and make some sawdust.

Bye.

80s. Dawg. I'd love to see that number on a consistent basis around here in the summer. Our yearly avg. humidity is in the 60s and of course combine a Texas summer with it and, well, 80s sounds nice.

Been HOT and dry here too. We got an inch of rain over the fourth that areas around us didn't but it's about gone. A cold front Monday MAY bring us rain but then back into the upper eighties and dry again.

Hot, Humid, - it just stinks - can't wait for fall - Love the smell of wood smoke in the morning, sure beats the moldy, damp, rot smell we have now - hate it!

It was 92 when we just came in for the day. Watered all of the new trees we've planted the last two years, they were real dry. The corn and beans are doing pretty good considering. At least today there's some wind blowing, last few days it's been almost still through the day.

I'm ready for fall harvest and hunting seasons.

Been hot and humid here, so decided to see what Spokane and San Francisco are like this week. Wife and I are leaving wed for about 2 wks. Got two brothers in Washington state and like San Francisco so much last year got to go back and see some of the stuff we missed.

I went out to the truck the other morning at 4:30 AM and the temp was 81 at that time. I have about a hours drive to my mill and we like to have it running by 6:15 AM try to do most of the sawing before 11:00 eat lunch then cut some more at a much slower pace till 3:00 load up and go to the house. Fall can't get here soon enough for me.

thedeeredude · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2005, 03:55:20 pm »

Well, its been 85-95 with high humidity here the past few weeks. And that doesn't mean we stop sawing so I drink lots of water and stick my head in the freezer when I get a chance

Check out this map http://www.weather.com/maps/news/forecastsummary/index_large.html The long blue line down through the Dakotas is a cold front due on the East coast by Tue PM. Will be relief for a few days, anyway - Deep South, sorry your cold front will not be coming till..............

Complainers complainers. All winter I heard you guys wishing for summer.

I work in all kinds of weather, but try to avoid the rain if I can. I hate being wet all day, but sometimes it's from sweat. Nasty

Corley5 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2005, 06:04:03 pm »

When it's 10 below in mid January you'll never hear me wish it was 90 degrees, 75 yes but never 90

I'd take snow and cold over this crap anyday

hawby · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17, 2005, 09:11:29 pm »

I really dislike Summer. I am sweating setting here typing, with a fan and AC on. The 8 day has 83 for Tuesday, all the rest are in the 90's...

Woodcarver · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2005, 12:14:00 am »

After three years of mostly below normal temperatures and an especially cool summer last year, we're having hot weather, too. We average abut 6 days of 90 or above each year. We've had far more than that this summer with more on the way.

Nothing to compare with the weather in the '30's, though, when most of the summer records for Wisconsin were set. A little before my time, but I've heard about it from my parents and my wife's parents. Day after day of temperatures above 100. My father-in-law said they often slept on the floor because it was a little cooler than in bed. That would make the weather we're having now look good. Everything is relative, I guess.

We had about 5" of rain this weekend. Humidity is in the 70%+ range and dewpoints around 70-75. Grass is growing pretty fast and there seems to be more Japanese beetles this year than before.

Just a few more weeks and the worst is over for the year.

GF · « **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2005, 08:42:21 am »

Its been in the low to mid 90's here, the humidity has been something else. Seems like every 3 or 4 days we get a little shower which causes the humidy to stay up. Not sure but this year it seems like there is always a haze in the air, the skys are kinda dull colored and not blue. When its like this I have to wear sunglasses outside because it seems to be so bright. Seems like the weather is different this year than normal.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #22 on:** July 19, 2005, 09:56:04 am »

We have been getting 3-4 humid days every week or 10 days, by tommorrow it'll be less humid and by saturday they say it's gonna be like early fall weather. But, some of those forcasters are from the southern states and don't realize that 70's weather is normal summer weather for up here. $:-\$

That's easy to say and hard to put up with. I can't wait until bark season is over either, poplar bark comes off in giant sheets and guess whos got the lucky job off cleaning out of "the pit".
