    Overcast and 88 degrees here in Charlotte, NC. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

    Got a pool you can cool off in?

    No, not now! thank god for AC at work/car and home. At lunch I walked to the truck to get my wallet, it's parked less than 5 mins away and the air is so thick you could cut it with a spoon! I started to sweat.

    Low 90's and muggy here in metro Boston. Not all that bad though; a little sticky but I like the heat.

    If you think about it Willow, we shouldn't complain as with this August we at least get a blink of summer... Remember what June and July were like? Let's enjoy it while it last.... Get ready for your winter gear pretty soon :eek: You may not have a pool but I hope you have a snowblower? I can live without the pool but I couldn't live without the snowblower ;)

    Calling for it to peak at 92*F with currently 45% humidity. Oddly enough, the heat index is only at 90* right now, which i think is BS. 45% humidity and 88.5*f should equal more than a 1.5* jump...
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I'm not saying that it doesn't feel hot up there to you, but I think your weather forecasting website is a little bit exaggerated when it comes to the actual temp versus the "feels like" temperature.

    When I run a standard NWS heat index calculator for 89F w/ 56% relative humidity, it comes back as 95F, not 108F.

    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
