I hate global warming.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Other parts of this country have been taking a hit, too

OK, so they just gathered up every "extreme" weather "event" they could find, and call it some kind of crisis. Sounds like bureaucrats who want to use global warming as an excuse to control us all.

It is August.
August is a hot month.

It is the "the Dog days of August".

[Russell Kanning]

seems like "dog days" goes along with humidity

In the Mojave Desert ... we just called August "hell"
we would get in our baking hot cars in parking lots and pray for winter
we would swap stories about how wonderful spring was like ... back in march

no matter how hot it gets in NH ... it still is the place people choose to go in summer over say .... florida

btw PatK ... it is warmer in NYC than here today .... again

[Pat K]

I think I have mentioned Russell,
that I don't live in NYC, it is
90 deg. right now here in Huntington.

But I have been working in Boiler Rooms for 20 years
so hot is relative.

That's the urban heat island effect. It's the primary reason why global average temperature is being reported as higher than it really is. They made up a formula to account for urban heat island that's totally out of their asses. If they adjusted it down properly the global temperature increase wouldn't sound alarming; it would be so low as to question whether it's even enough to be counted as a global increase. It would practically be statistically insignificant. But then it's silly to use ground temperature readings anyway when we have satellite and weather balloon readings which are more accurate measures of atmospheric temperatures and aren't mucked with by the ground geography. Problem is, then the temperature readings don't support the conclusions that the researchers had already come to.

that I don't live in NYC, it is

but you can smell it from there

No you cant, and thank god for that.

Manhattan is August has a very urine like smell to it.

[porcupine kate]

I don't know if urine is the right way to describe the smell of NYC in August.
Mix:stagnant car exhaust, trash with a touch of rotting fish, the ozone smell you get right before a storm. and tar, Bake at 90+ degrees with humidity.  I think that stink is why people are thinner in NYC than the surrounding area.  Who wants to eat.
Not only does it smell terrible it leaves a grayish-black film on your skin. 
Some how they left this out of the tourist guides.

Cool enough for ya today?

Are you kidding? It got up to 66 degrees, kind of warm.

[burnthebeautiful]

Yes, during the third week of January when the rest of the state is an ice cube, the temperature in Keene climbs into the mid 80's, with constant sun, palm trees have been known to suddenly sprout out of the earth......................

I've heard of that happening in some mountain towns in Colorado. Not the palm tree's, but sudden heat in the middle of winter. Something about hot pockets of air rising.

This is the kind of weather I moved up here for... hate hot weather...
