Ah the sound of air-conditioners early in the morning...
Til now Southeastern Wisconsin has had during 2004 perhaps a couple of days with overnight temperatures as warm as the 60's. Current temp at 4 am is 70 and the AC compressors are kicking on all around me...
We have so little heat tolerance, I imagine many folks woke in this stifling heat and desperately hit the panic button. Weather for today is forecast for a blistering mid-80's, yikes!
temps here (Clearwater, FL) have been in the mid-nineties everyday with the mercury plummeting to around 80 or so during the wee hours of the morning. I can't understand anyone who would set thier AC to kick on at 70. We'd kill for an overnight low of 70 around here.
It is like putting television into automobiles so the passengers don't need to look outside.
Even as I speak the neighbor's heat pump has tripped on again...I am guessing they have their thermostat set at about 58F...a good temp for sleeping in flannel.
2. Here in Las Vegas at 2:39am it is STILL 89 degrees
and yes, my AC is running, but not often. It's set at 78 and because of our proximity to Nellis AFB (literally 2 blocks away) the walls are INCREDIBLY insulated. Thank goodness for that or our power bills would be atrocious.
8. Here in Lubbock we have already had 100 degree temps
It has been hot here since the first of May. My wife is very cold natured so ussually the A/C gets turned off at night so I roast. I am very warmed natured. I can sleep with a fan on in the winter. Plus she thinks it is perfectly normal to have a down comforter on the bed in summer. I just about die from heat prostration.
...and your 70 degree weather! I had a weekend motorcycle trip planned up here in the northwest. 600 hundred miles of cold rain, so I don't want to hear about your poor 70 degree suffering.
Maybe if you stopped to think you'd realize I wasn't complaining about 70 degree weather but rather I was making a comment on the silliness of A/C when the outdoor ambient is only 70.
A bum's rush on a topic like this in the Lounge is a new experience. Thanks. Novelty is, well, something never experienced before.
