30 years ago on this date there was a 20" snowfall here. Today it was almost too hot to go outside and work in the garden.

Well thank goodness you are done with your shovel.
It wasn't oh so hot here but very humid and more promised for tomorrow. I'm hoping this is not a precurser to what our summer will be like.Lawren

Yes, it was very humid today. Let's hope Lawren that this is not a sign of things to come.....I couldn't wait for summer, and on the first hot, humid day, I'm already complaining.
I just love complaining about the weather......

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

Oh me too!
Didn't you just know we would get 2 weeks of spring and then instant summer and turn on the c/a?
If it really awful hot and muggy we don't ride until 7pm in the summer.Lawren

That really seems to have become a pattern, the last few years. We really don't have a Spring anymore. It seems to go from winter, to summer overnight.
And, I love Spring. It's my favorite season.
Oops....There I go complaining, again.

OK Lawren,
What's your definition of "very humid"? Inquiring minds (mine) want to know?

I took no chances and installed one AC today. There is a possibility of thundershowers, and it is supposed to cool off starting tomorrow.Comment

Looks like we might be getting a few more of these hot sticky days, then we normally do.......
NASA Predicts Sizzling Summers for East
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP
WASHINGTON (May 11) - Future eastern United States summers look much hotter than originally predicted with daily highs about 10 degrees warmer than in recent years by the mid-2080s, a new NASA study says.
Previous and widely used global warming computer estimates predict too many rainy days, the study says. Because drier weather is hotter, they underestimate how warm it will be east of the Mississippi River, said atmospheric scientists Barry Lynn and Leonard Druyan of Columbia University and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
"Unless we take some strong action to curtail carbon dioxide emissions, it's going to get a lot hotter," said Lynn, now a scientist at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. "It's going to be a lot more dangerous for people who are not in the best of health."
The study got mixed reviews from other climate scientists, in part because the eastern United States has recently been wetter and cooler than forecast.
Instead of daily summer highs in the 1990s that averaged in the low to mid 80s Fahrenheit, the eastern United States is in for daily summer highs regularly in the low to mid 90s, the study found. The study only looked at the eastern United States because that was the focus of the funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Lynn said.
And that's just the eastern United States as a whole. For individual cities, the future looks even hotter.Angela

We had a storm come thru at 5AM this morning that did nothing for us but this afternoon's rains brought relief and we will have a nice weekend. Mid-60s for my Hunter Pace on Mother's Day.Originally posted by tonyg View Post
Just in case you were wondering what a hunter pace is:
A hunter pace is a low-key competitive event derived from foxhunting. Teams of two or three riders follow an outdoor course laid out over terrain which is meant to simulate the riding conditions encountered during a foxhunt - that is, a mixture of gaits that a foxhunter typically uses as a fox's scent is found and followed by hounds through open country and along wooded trails. There is no set length for a hunter pace course, although courses are typically around eight miles and can take up to two hours to complete.Lawren
