1. My sisters live in Dallas

I used to live there 11 years ago before I moved to Pennsylvania. 100+º heat is not only normal for a Texas summer, but also the main reason I left Texas for good--neither my late mom nor I could take the extreme heat--and humidity--anymore.

2. lol, i love it. i often point out to family going from 100 to 95 is no way cold

no matter how you look at it. kinda like. 20 degrees, gonna warm up tomorrow to 25. no warm

3. I got home from 10 days on the road at about 9 last night...

My car thermometer read 95 degrees.

Nice to come home to a cold front!

11. argh, 107 today

:mad:

[mwdem]

4. At least it'll be below 80 at night!

105 today. Ugh!!

5. In August? You better believe it!

Why do you think I take my summer vacations in the States in New England?

6. One of a million reasons why I'll never live there.

I think Mass gets too damn hot. I'd last a week down there, done in by weather or some Republican asshat who hates liberal Yanks! :)

7. In Crawford, IQ's in the mid-90's considered a fucking genius! (nt)

8. We had a similar "cold front" move through last week which brought

our temps from the 102-105 range down to a much cooler 98. It was pretty hard to get excited by that.

12. my weather station turns bright red at 90 degrees

ridiculous for Texas - I have a bright red glowing screen at least half the year - for Texas it should go red starting at 96 :D

9. Current heat index in Mesquite - 122

10. OMG!

I would have considered that a cold front but I just looked at our weather forecast and it's actually going to dip down into the 80's! All those triple digit days were wearing me out. :woohoo:

[ellaydubya]

13. If you lived here, it would seem like a cold front!!!

Compared to the days we have been having with triple digit temperatures and heat indexes even higher, 95 sounds wonderfully pleasant!!!!

16. SCHEDULING ELLAYDUBYA FOR ASS-KICKING

I am .25 miles from Dallas :D

[seabeyond]

14. over a 100 today. suppose to be 72 tomorrow. hooyah.... lol. and rain. nt

15. I had a roofing job in Dallas one summer many years ago. It was above 115 every single day

for something like 45 days in a row. Good times :eyes:

[MajorChode]

17. The high is supposed to be in the lower 90's for a solid week

It's even supposed to be in the 60's early Thursday morning. When triple digits have been the norm, that's definitely a cold front to look forward to.

[Skittles]

19. I am so ready for it, MajorChode

yes INDEED!

[tammywammy]

18. Hell yeah, I feel like I need a parka

:)

21. I welcome the 90's

22. In Texas we have two seasons:

Summer and February.

We wear shorts at Christmas, usually. Working outside can be brutal in October.

We get our first actually cool front sometime in November.

Had three good snows in Jan and Feb. this year.


The heat index has gone up the past couple of weeks, like to 110 or so.

Still waiting for that cooling off at night. That will be a couple months away.

23. Surely Skittles has no problem kicking some "cold front" ASS?

INDEED. Cold front, meet Skittles... C Ya!

24. I'm an Illinois native
