northern front Range Colorado and west of the first foothill. Topped out at 95 today. pretty hot for here, and we are usually 10 degrees or so cooler than in town not far east of us.
I moved out of Lexington because we went 58 days straight with no sunshine, gray and gloomy with more gray and gloomy on top of that. I remember flying out of Lexington, breaking through the clouds, and getting pissed that my access to sunshine was blocked by a pissant layer of clouds.We moved out of Lexington in December 2019. That year we had 90 days over 90. It was something like 120 days within 3 degrees of 90.
In the first week of October it was over 100 degrees at 5pm and my poor kids were running cross country races in Versailles in that bullshit.
I was done.
111 F Heat Index in downtown Louisville today. Our 10 day forecast ~25 miles south:

They cancelled school tomorrow for my kids in the Detroit area.
Our kids are already done for the year, but school would be cancelled for sure if it were still in session. The school doesn’t have any central air.

Much like how we get made fun of for closing schools if a light dusting of snow falls should I make fun of you guys because your schools can’t handle “summer”?Our kids are already done for the year, but school would be cancelled for sure if it were still in session.

and lots of old fuckers talking about how "back in my day we didn't have AC and did just fine".
Ones I know claim to have hit -60f in the blizzard of '79.
With -20f as the "high" of the day.
Actual records indicate -20f as the all time low.
And living in the Midwest for a few years now, I've barely seen below 0f.
Back in 94 in Indiana they closed the Universities for a day when it hit -20F with -60F windchills. Spending a minute outside gave me cold induced headaches.might be with the wind chill

Hey I remember being a kid and it being so hot we used boiling water to cool off. Damn kids these days are so weak!Much like how we get made fun of for closing schools if a light dusting of snow falls should I make fun of you guys because your schools can’t handle “summer”?

Amen. That's why I will never live in the upper mid-west again. Lived in Chicago from 75 to 80. First winter was record cold, second and third winters were record snow levels. Snow piles still around in April, then basically no spring, straight into 90 degree weather for most of the summer, then short fall. Never again.I'd just generally say "welcome to living in the Midwest, where you get to enjoy both ass ends of mother nature."
Seems you moved to the right place! I like my "gray and gloomy", it's given me the capacity to enjoy the sun when it's out.I moved out of Lexington because we went 58 days straight with no sunshine, gray and gloomy with more gray and gloomy on top of that.

Heh, that's more poetic than the way I usually described it when people asked why I was leaving.I'd just generally say "welcome to living in the Midwest, where you get to enjoy both ass ends of mother nature."
