Heat Wave 2016

When I used to work in education and see hundreds of Oregonians everyday it always amazed me when after a winter of muck...the first day it's 80 in the spring people would come to the office and complain about the heat!

I love the heat over in Portland. It doesn't last too long and it is dry. Here in Florida, the humidity will destroy your will to do anything. I actually just got done playing basketball at an outdoor court here in Panama City and I feel like death. I had plans today, but I am now going to do absolutely nothing. Although, St Andrews bay is right behind my house, so I'll probably take a dip and have a cold beer at some point.

I'm not saying Lakers basketball players are dumb, but the coach is dressing six players for the home opening game. The rest will dress themselves.

Post of the thread!

So glad we put in ductless heating and air in June.

To be fair jumping 20-30 degrees from your norm isn't fun.

Vegas makes you want to stay inside without the rain

Says someone who hasn't been off the strip I bet. Hoover Dam, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock park....could go on and on.

Just the peacefulness of the grocery store is amazing. Going back to the NW the grocery store sounds like a basketball game is going on inside.

You don't realize it until you move somewhere dry.

To each their own. I absolutely prefer cool weather, I love when it's cloudy and rain doesn't bother me. I hate when it's hot unless I'm in water and I don't actually like being in water that much.

With all that fur, I can see why
