[GirlinContempt]

It is 32 degrees Celsius here today. With the humidex, it is 45 fucking degrees. For you Fahrenheit people, that is 114 degrees with the humidity.

Complaining about it being 24F at midnight here; I was sweating to death:)

[arcane1]

[Telly Savalas]

14. That stuff is supposed to be spreading over to our parts tomorrow.

I'm not too happy about it.

Summer is bullshit. Bring on autumn.

[GirlinContempt]

19. Take it!

muahhaha take it! I don't want it!

[Telly Savalas]

40. Looks like we are.

I thought it might be spreading like a disease, but it's just drifing our way:

http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pages/mb-38_metric_e.html

Winnipeg Friday high of 22C. Salvation is heading in your direction.

Whereas:

http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pages/on-143_metric_e.html

High of 35C on Saturday? Good lord, that'll cook all the car emissions into some nice smog that'll make the air less breathable than a WWI battlefield.

[GirlinContempt]

54. hahaha suckas

I mean, man, that sucks for you :P

[In_The_Wind]

15. don't melt

I really need you around here :hug:

[GirlinContempt]

21. Awwww

I'll try to stay solid as long as possible

[In_The_Wind]

47. look at it this way

>>>

[steely]

17. 28 C here, not too bad.

cooler than I expected -
but 32/45 sounds kinda warm for "up North".

[GirlinContempt]

22. haha

yeah, an hour 'north' of the border :P

[steely]

70. guess I should stick to lattitude

[undeterred]

20. When I was in grade school in the 1960s they told us we'd be converting

to Celsius by the year 2000. I never heard why we didn't, but I'd guess that:

The changeover costs too much.
Jesus used Fahrenheit.
Learning a new system is just TOO HARD. :dunce:

[GirlinContempt]

23. It's so dumb

Come on, join the rest of the world in the metric system!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

24. Rats

I thought Winnipeg was the coldest city in continental North America. I've never been there, but it's on my list.

Are the temperature swings THAT huge?

[GirlinContempt]

29. Yes, they are

With the windchill in the winter, you're lookin' at -40 (which is -40 F ;) ) and in the summer, well, this is it.

[achtung_circus]

36. That's why we call it Winterpeg.

But it's a "dry" cold.

Of course it's dry, at those temps any humidity distills out of the atmosphere. My personal coldest was -45 C in Bumfuck Saskatchewan. For the metrically impaired, -49 F.

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. In Canada?!

Holy mackerel! It's 27.5 on my pool deck in Florida. That's just wrong. Your temperature, not mine. I'll stick with mine thank you very much.

[GirlinContempt]

30. No nonononononono

take mine. Please. It's a gift.

[achtung_circus]

34. One week in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,

it went from -30 (-22 F) to +30 (84 F) and back again.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

35. In Maine one winter,

in one twenty-four hour period, it went from -20F to 55F and then back to zero.

It was January, near the southern coast - Kennebunk Beach

Oh, and your screen name is one of the absolute BEST I've seen so far!

[achtung_circus]

38. So you don't know weather (hee hee)

to shit or wind your watch.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

41. Where I come from

(coal mining country in PA - very rugged country), the saying is "...weather (sic) to shit or go blind."

You northerns are so genteel, aintcha? Must be the mild weather.......

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[achtung_circus]

44. Thank you. nt.

[yvr girl]

73. Lots of places in Canada get hot

There are places in BC where it regularly hits 100 F

[billyskank]

42. Keep a bucket handy

If you do melt, melt into that. I'll pop you in the fridge and you'll be fine in no time. Unless I'm in a silly mood, in which case I may solidify you into an amusing shape. :)

[GirlinContempt]

48. What kind

of shape?

[billyskank]

55. Hmmm. Maybe something modern?

It really would depend on my mood!

[Omphaloskepsis]

43. Drink some cold beers...

listen to loud music, and dance.

[GirlinContempt]

49. Out of beer

have a heat headache so no loud music, dancing is warmer :P

[Omphaloskepsis]

51. I just wanted to point out..

that you could be doing something worse.

cold bath?

[GirlinContempt]

53. Only if

you come with me again

Otherwise I get bored

[Omphaloskepsis]

59. The batteries are fully charged right now...

but, I have been drinkin' and we are going to go skateboarding in a few. You should see how much skin I lost yesterday. My hips, elbows, knees, and palms are raw. fuckin' pills. *eats a pill* Skin grows back..

[GirlinContempt]

62. Nice

sounds like good times. Maybe when you come back :P

[Dukkha]

45. I envy you!

Heat Rules!

[GirlinContempt]

50. Boooo!

[Zuni]

46. I am sorry

I live in the Mid-Atlantic, where that is roughly normal for the deep summer---It gets pretty hot and humid here on the Chesapeake Bay. 90-100 degrees and 90-100% humidity often make for suffocating summers

I like chilly weather better, and low humidity. I am sorry you have to deal with this nasty heat.
:hug:

[GirlinContempt]

52. Thanks

:hug:

[no name no slogan]

56. I feel your pain

Here in Rochester, Minnesota (a few hundred miles south of you), we're approaching 100° F air temp, with a heat index (heat + humidity) we're closer to 110° F.

And wouldn't you know it, my air conditioner in my car chose yesterday to die. And I had to make a 130-mile commute back "home" this afternoon.

Thank Jeebus for cold showers!

[GirlinContempt]

63. Man, that sucks

I'm with ya on the cold shower front

[no name no slogan]

69. Saw the radar on the news tonight

big storms blowing thru NW Minnesota, up around Red Lake. Also big heat numbers up at Roseau, which is on the Canadian border.

I hope you get some of the storms we're supposed to get. ANYTHING to relieve the heat misery.

Best of luck!!! :hi:

[leftofthedial]

57. git nekkid

and run through the sprinkler

[GirlinContempt]

64. I'm two to three steps ahead of you

as far as naked goes. But I think the other people in my building might object to the sprinkler idea

[Richardo]

58. Perfect opportunity to try on your Suicide Girl outfit

If y'know what I'm sayin' O8)

[GirlinContempt]

65. haha

I think I know what you're sayin ;)

[redqueen]

60. Geez... in Canada?

And I thought we had it bad here in TX... I'm so sorry...

:pals:

[GirlinContempt]

66. Aww

texas is pretty bad too :hug:

[Wapsie B]

61. Wow!

Did you move to Death Valley? I never knew it could get that hot in Canada.

[GirlinContempt]

67. Thats cause

most people don't know that much about canada :silly:

[JanMichael]

71. Holy Crap, and I thought the South could get bad-

Air conditioning is your best friend!

The only thing I can't stand about summer in the South, though, is the giant bug situation. Horrible.
