Its cooking pretty good right now...imagine what tomorrow has in store!:doh: :eek: :rollem:

I'm showing 87 in my home office and nearly 100 under the deck...which is granted in the sun.

Not that it's low, but luckly the dewpoint is as low as it is.

-spence

95 in Wickford when I was there... parked in the shade...
yuck... almost un-workable in the afternoon..

88 degrees in Buzzards Bay. It's hardly ever unbearable there, unless, as is the case today, we have a west wind blowing straight overland rather than a SW sea breeze.

Tomorrow I'll be standing shoulder deep raking quahogs, at least.

Worked in the yard landscaping today. Didn't feel the least bit guilty about the Smirnoffs V i drank afterword.:buds:

98 friggen degrees in Wonderful West Wareham!!!

Gonna be 101 tomorrow.

powers out in wickford
more to come

95 here
even with a small a/c in my shop window, I can't take it out there for much more than an hour. I'm spoiled
it is friggen hot! drink lots of water
I wish I had a pool but even that would be like bath water.
I hope this hot weather doesn't chase any bass away that may still be around

5 hours before bedtime....just to have comfortable air...
usually we can shut it off later....
but, not likely...
------------------------------------------------------------
did ya see on the news...it was like advertising :wavey:
a kid takes a car tire, throws it around a fire hydrant
then wedges a 6 foot 2x4 into the tire to back leverage
the 2x4 into the side valve to release water...

i'd thought that was quite ingenious......

98 and humid as F$#@! here in Warwick.:af:

The thermometer showed 105 in Lancaster where I work, 2 miles away on my street it showed 97. I worked under a fan all day doing a quarter panel + complete refinish. Whenever I left the breeze, I felt as tho I was unter a heat lamp! Landscaping today? More manly than I want to play! How do you change this guy's:drool: to sweat?

I drove down a street in Dorchester today..The kids had done the same thing there..Man that water was shooting in the air about 20 feet..I wanted to get out and join them..Good idea

Brutal....today the paint was like soup...had to stop work around 1:00 I felt ill from the heat...tomorrow Im getting an early start and knocking off when Im soaked all the way through......this year's weather has not been good for buisness...I need a new line of work:poke:

you could always be a manho' matt :hihi:

I was disapointed when i rode through wakefield and nebe wasnt blowing glass

just got back from denver where it was 101 now i get to be in it again...

to anyone that says "yea but its a dry 101" i say yea but its STILL 101... thats hot anywhere.

3rd floor apt/no AC....its gonna be a rough one.

do you even try fishing in weather like this?

Now with all the bitchin - how about remembering these days.:drool: :drool:

haha.. thats pretty funny.

i do take some wierd enjoyment hearing how rediculous people are with weather... majority of the time never being happy. but im gonna say this is pretttttty hot. :)

My kids football coach had them doing a full 2 hour practice today in 96* temps. Every half hour, a three minute break for water and to catch their breath. No mercy from this guy.

A few kids were :yak6: on the sidelines. I thought I was gonna die just from watching them.

And they gotta do it again tommorow with it breaking 100.

I would not let my kids participate in this heat CAL....shiite happens and we read about young folks dying from heat stroke every year...your kids are too young for practicing in this heat! The coach should have his head examined for not cancelling practice for a few days....its not the friggin NFL for chrissakes!:doh:

My prediction is we will get our share of tragic stories tomorrow from the oppressive heat!

Larry, wasn't just one coach.......there were at least eight different teams on two practice fields doing this.

I didn't want to seem like a wuss when none of the other parents were saying anything. I honestly thought they'd have light drills for an hour tops.

If the other parents were letting their kids jump off a bridge...would you let yours because you did not want to be a "wuss"? Hate to see folks wind up on the news like some will tomorrow because people choose to ignore the warnings.:smash:

Point taken, but like I said, I thought he would cut it short in this heat.
Obviously I was wrong.

Chrissakes, I even heard Belichick was cutting the afternnon practices this week.

New jets coach had em go full 2.5hrs in the am an full Practice at 5 pm.'Coughlin had 90mins. this smornin an cut the afternoon.
Transformers on poles are just bursting into flames.
Fire is coming out of manholes.I had 2 outages an what seemed like a late afternoon brownout.I expect it all to go to hell today.It feels like a blowtorch my dark blue van has a leak in the AC.I sweat like Patrick Ewing.The sweat stops when u run outa water.I felt ok yesterday but feel crappy now.

98 yesterday at its peak. Already 89 at 8:30 AM today. I much prefer too cold to too hot!!

We have the a/c running here, just went outside and its 85 degrees easily.. heavy air too.. i'm taking breaks skimming the pool,cause i already have a nice sunburn from spending 6 hours in the direct sun saturday.. the pool is bath water...unreal

At 10 AM the thermostat in my bedroom read 88 degrees.

According to my car thermometer, which is usually accurate within one degree, it's 97 in Sagamore, 98 in Bourne Scenic Park, and 97 in downtown Buzzards Bay.

Let me tell you---I really have to rack my brain to come up with the last time it bordered on 100 along the Canal. Normally, mid-80s with a nice SW sea breeze on these high humidity days is as bad as it gets.

This was not a day to pull a clam rake, and I didn't even try. Even standing waist deep in 76 degree water, it would have been miserable. Plus the last time I quahogged, the water was full of big reddish jellyfish with tentacles over a foot long, and a couple of people digging in bathing suits got stung. Nope, not a day for waders, even breatheables

Had a softball game last night at 6:00 and another today at 6:00. We are playing the same team twice. Last night before the start of the game they came over to us and asked if we wanted to do a double header instead of coming back to play today. We all agreed to do it and then they decided not to after the first game. Morons would rather play in 110 degree heat today. Not looking forward to it. At least tomorrow I have an Ice hockey game.

My kids had a Summer League baseball last night and have another tonight . . . bet the left fielder does not show up tonight . . . left last night after he "hurled" (team's word - not mine) all over the front of his uniform . . . ended up playing 8 on 8

At least tomorrow I have an Ice hockey game.


Good luck with the ice conditions. Gotta be tough to keep from turning to slush.

Cal,
Saw a report of a 15 yr old football player in Georgia died of heat stroke yesterday..... Tell those coaches to pound sand and call the health officials in the town, They'll shut them down with mucho bad publicity. Just keep the kids' interests first!!!! These types of @#$%^& coaches are @#$%^& braindead!
Hell, my crew was done at 11AM today. just not worth it......

Amen Brother Ross!:angel:

With the liability I'm really suprised that they allow the coaches to practice in the heat...

Tonight, I couldn't believe how long it took the ump to call a Babe Ruth game...with lightening bearing down on us.

Nightfighter, I saw the same thing in the paper this morning.

I called my ex wife and told her not to bring him to practice today. When I got home I checked the Plymouth pop warner site and saw that practice was cancelled for the day.

I still don't think some of these coaches got their heads screwed on straight. They should never run a practice the way they did in those conditions the other day.

yup.

Good luck with the ice conditions. Gotta be tough to keep from turning to slush.

Never really had a problem with ice in the summer. Obviously the surface is not as hard as in Winter but it is still pretty good. Wouldn't want to see the electricity bill but I quess we pay for it. This weather will just make the beers taste better after.
