Please tell us where you are.

Don't post

We Just Lost Power
or

Ten inches of Snow
or

The flood waters are three feet deep

or anything at all remotely like that without telling us where you are.

Most of us don't live where you are, and it's helpful to have a context.

I agree. It isn't at all helpful to say that weather or whatever has just caused disruption to services without including where. We might have family in that area and would not otherwise know that something was going on. Some of us have older parents or family that live off the beaten track or alone and would want to know that they were experiencing a problem.

Otherwise it just looks like you crave attention.

I agree though there have been times when I am wondering if others are experiencing the same things.

going to be 95 degrees tomorrow ... 94 the day after and a cooling period for maybe a day or two ... then the nasty heat hits. Hope you all are well.

a bit of a heat wave waving through the area around chicago

uck! i fucking hate the heat

temp got to 102 today (doesn't include the heat index)
it's cooled off a lot now that it's midnight (84 / feels like 89)

the other night it was in the 50s and i had the windows open till early morning hours letting the cool/cold inside. twelve hours later it was in the 90s.

i remember when weather used to be normal

[Sorry - that's a tweak of an old Bert and I story.
I agree that often it would help to know location, even just the region, if some are not comfortable naming the their state. You know, like peeps in the witless protection program.
