jerome1232 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I just wanted to complain, we aren't normally seeing triple digits until late June at the very earliest. Luckily it's supposed plummet to a chilly 79 by the weekend.I Just hate it when temps swing like this so dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 That heat is certainly not helping out the fire situation that I know is around San Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I crunched across the snow to get to my car in Colorado this morning. jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 A chilly 79? Lol. It was about 86 here yesterday and we were roasting! I'm grateful for the cooler 60-ish right now. I'm enjoying spring, and am not ready for summer yet. Actually, it hit 83 in my house yesterday, but I was determined not to turn on the A/C yet. I hid in the basement instead. jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 That heat is certainly not helping out the fire situation that I know is around San Diego.I think the heat is a factor for getting the fire started, once it's roaring the wind is the greatest factor. I've heard that fire has had some really close calls. A chilly 79? Lol. It was about 86 here yesterday and we were roasting! I'm grateful for the cooler 60-ish right now. I'm enjoying spring, and am not ready for summer yet. Actually, it hit 83 in my house yesterday, but I was determined not to turn on the A/C yet. I hid in the basement instead.It's all relative, when you drop from 101 to 79 in the span of 3 days, yeah, it feels chilly. We should have 3 days of triple digit highs then a plummet of just over 20 degrees.Our A/C has been on for over a month already haha.

pam Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 People actually live in Bakersfield? One thing about Bakersfield is that they have the busiest Hobby Lobby in the western states. That's because there is nothing else there. :) Wingnut and jerome1232 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 It is 96 out with a hot breeze - Hubby is in 7th heaven, I am miserable. Oh, I am on the Central Oregon Coast. Inland from the ocean by 2 miles. jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I guess bakersfield and cats are big news these days, finally we are in national news for something not terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wanted to say that yesterday it got to 102 - for here that is extremely unusual! By midnight it finally cooled down to 65. The house didn't cool down until this morning at 6 AM. Today the high was a blissful 66, and we had winds to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 This is the finished project that I worked on the week of the *heat wave*- http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t63/arnagene/2014-05-152014Garden033_zps1475c271.jpg Put up the PVC frame and covered with deer netting, emptied out the pots with the dead flowers, added dolomite lime to that soil and mixed with fresh, re-filled the pots and planted new flowers. My husband helped me the first day by assembling the Gorilla Cart - and the second day by cutting the PVC & holding it in place while I screwed the brackets in place. Please note: I am overweight by 75 pounds, stove up joint wise and not heat tolerant at all. BUT I got it done, almost. jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
