It was 94 degrees last night at 10:45 pm. Ridiculous.

100 plus here in MD. Yesterday for the first time my BGE peak rewards program kicked in and they cycled my a/c from 1 to 7, when I came home the main level was 81. IT eventually cooled back down to 75 come bed time.

I was down in Arkansas a few weeks ago and it was crazy hot, one day it was 103 and super humid, at night it only cooled down to the mid 80s. Seems that we're getting a nice taste of that type of weather. It sucks, I sure wouldn't want to deal with this all summer like some places do.

Yesterday when I got in my car to go home it read 103 and it felt like 120 in the car. At 6:45 I went to hit a buck of balls (my new taylor made R9 irons came in yesterday) and it was actually not that bad.

When I got in my car yesterday after work at around 5:30 it read 114 and I could barely touch the steering wheel. I know the temperature always reads way higher than it actually is when it just sits in the sun but the thermometer on my car never dipped below 101 while I was driving home.

I knew someone was going to pull up that thread.

Its about 90 right now but feels like 100 with the humidty it will get a hell of a lot hotter later today.

Down here we freak out when it gets just a little cold everyone bundles up like there is a blizzard going, ya'll would laugh to see us here.

One good tip: put a cool wet rag on the back of your neck it cools the blood down. Always cools me down.

Well, to me when you have a record breaking snowfall and a record breaking heat wave in one area less than six months apart it makes me think that all this global warming/global climate shift stuff isn't just a bunch of BS.

personally i love sitting in stand still traffic on I-95 b/c 2 tractor trailers yet again decided to be bullys on the road as i drive from balmore to DC everyday with no AC.

for the past 2 months i drive to work with no shirt, then put on my white T in the garage, then after about a half hour in the office AC i pur on my dress shirt.

you signed up for that. i was thinking aobut it but i thought the deal was (atleast as explained to me for balt city) - they come in and install at no charge a blocker on your AC unit so that it cant be lowered under something like 82 degrees for the summer months. during emergencies, you can lower your AC. for the 1st summer you get 100 bucks credit. for the 2nd summer you get 50 then the 3rd you get 25 bucks.

is this how it was explained to you?

ona side note BGE is telling me they need to come in and change my gas meter battery. i call and they say the technician will be in my area for these 2 certain days next month. (its baltimore, not some remote village but i digress). so i say ok, what time slots are available. she says oh no, you pick the day (from the 2 days in the next month) and then he will be there from 8-5. i tell her i cant take off a full day of work to wait on the BGE guy to change a battery. sighhhh

Awww is it too hot? This is typical VA weather. Drink water, eat fruit, and suck it up. When you do eat something with more substance, use a lot of salt. Pound that water.

It was 104 yesterday in Winchester, VA. Even at midnight last night when i was watering my pumpkin plants, it was 95....crazy.
