We hadn't had ambient temps over a hundred in the last several years. We'd actually been having relatively mild summers for quite a while. Then last week it turned into a torture chamber down here. We've topped a hundred for the last 8 days, and probably have a couple more to go. Couple that with murderous humidity, and it makes for sheer misery.
Every year about this time I think how nice it would be to live somewhere that it didn't get so hot. Then along about January or February I start seeing pictures in the news of white outs, blizzards, and ice storms, and I think maybe this ain't such a bad place after all.
