I work outdoors a lot and love it most of the year, but this summer heat and humidity is getting old now. NFL soon and college football already going on and damn it is too hot. 10 days ago I looked at the next 10 day forecast and it said 86 highs soon. Now I look again and like 93 and 95 crap for the next 10 days.
I am ready for some WINTER here! Luckily it does not snow much here, but I would rather deal with more of that than these endless Summers anymore.
Quoted from HighVoltage:Oh yeah, figured you didn't live in the PNW. Ha, that's not how we think over here.
I know you have some great weather, and try to hide it and keep crowds out by saying it rains a lot.
Quoted from HighVoltage:That's why pinball's so popular out here: it's raining all the time!
Not!
While on a trip in Texas once I met a couple from Seattle, and I know the secrets and how awesome you guys have it there.
This summer more or less sucked here in Sweden, lots of rain and low temperatures. I would gladly take some of your heat.
It has been very hot and humid this year in southern Ohio but I'll be honest, I'd rather have the heat than snow or even cold weather. I just can't stand winter, it depresses me, cold, lifeless, with more hours of darkness than light..

This is why I have no desire to live in the south. I lived in the south for many years and hate the excessive humidity and heat.
Now I live in Colorado. Winters are not as bad as people imagine.
Some of you are lucky enough to be able to set up game rooms in the garage. Too hot and too humid in the South to do that. Everything would end up covered in rust.
I would like your high of 93!
It's been 100 plus for more than a month, with humidity around 110
It's rained exactly once this Entire summer!
Remember a few weeks ago they said we were getting a cold front.....the high was 98, 105 with humidity
But being originally from the Cincinnati area
I'll take it over the damn winter!

Shshhhhh don’t tell them our secrets! We don’t need more people moving here
Quoted from EricHadley:Shshhhhh don’t tell them our secrets! We don’t need more people moving here
Yeah I thought about my post before I sent it. But...the zombie horde is already heading our direction. I already have my plans to head to another oasis if things get to crazy here. Take my money and run while hauling pins along for the ride!
Let me correct my previous post...the winters in CO are horrible. Sub zero temperatures, snow so high above the door you get stuck inside until spring arrives. Then your pin breaks and are unable to get parts for it because the mail man no longer delivers in our horrible weather. Even FEDEX and UPS gave up deliveries. Amazon chose to put there head quarters somewhere else because of the bad weather. Spring does not even arrive until July. Summers are also horrible. We get swarmed with tourists with their 5th wheels and boats and campers. It’s like grid lock. I recommend stay where you are and appreciate what you have!
LOL...I am just glad that I was able to sneak in across the state line.
I live in Ontario Canada...I hate the winter, I am not built for it like some Canadians. I will never ever complain about heat and humidity...it's overcast and chilly or cold and sometimes snowy here at least half the year. Like something out of a zombie movie.
I say you get to bitch about ONE season only, as a fellow from Saskatchewan, I choose to complain about winter whole heartedly. I will not bitch about the heat.
Quoted from northerndude:I say you get to bitch about ONE season only, as a fellow from Saskatchewan, I choose to complain about winter whole heartedly. I will not bitch about the heat.
Just curious, how cold does it get there at it's lowest point? Farenheit
I was fed up with it in May 
70 max high in summer would be great. Love the snow (when we get it lol)
I have enjoyed reading all these posts. Yeah, I am so glad to not deal with snow much, but the older I get I think I could deal with that more than the summers here that start earlier and last longer. It is almost like just 2 seasons here anymore, a colder than normal winter, and a hotter than normal summer. Here we really do not even have a spring or fall anymore. I do remember back in the 1970's when I was a kid the whole summer was very hot, but as a kid it did not bother me.
Part of my work is outdoors, and the older I get I can not handle the heat/humidity. At the same time last winter was the coldest ever I had worked outdoors in, and a pair of wool socks and some better gloves fixed that, I was fine. I can add enough clothes to stay warm, but I can not take enough off to stay cool.
And 10 days ago when I looked at the 10 day forecast it said now it is supposed to be 86...and that is ok. Now, it is not the 86 predicted, 91 instead, and next few days 94, 95, 93, etc. For this time of year if it could just be a little cooler like it is supposed to be I would be happy.
This really just looks like another year when the summer lasts all the way through fall, then a cold ass winter with no spring, then another hot ass humid summer. It is getting old. I am too I guess.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Nothing but rain this summer. Our hottest month of "summer" was May. Like wtf is that about?
Lots of rain. Not dry, and hot at all. My yard by September is usually brown, currently it is green and still growing.
The hotter the better, the drier the better. It’s great for the ice cream business! I’ll NEVER complain about heat!
Quoted from pinballOsp:Global climate change is fake news
Right on!
Also the world is flat, and gravity is a scam cooked up by the illuminati!
Quoted from Tomass:Just curious, how cold does it get there at it's lowest point? Farenheit
In an avg year, probably one or two maybe down to -40F and then a handful of about -22 F days.
Quoted from dc2010:But being originally from the Cincinnati area
I'll take it over the damn winter!
Agree. Summer beats the livin' crap out of Winter anytime. The worst thing about Winter are the short daylight hours.
It won't cool off here until November, if then. It's still warm Halloween time. And we don't really have a fall. It'll be unseasonably warm and then brutally cold, for a little while. Al Gore doesn't know squat. I do like seeing yankees sweat down here.

Where's "here?" South of the Mason-Dixon line I presume 
Quoted from northerndude:In an avg year, probably one or two maybe down to -40F and then a handful of about -22 F days.
Dang. We hit -25 once in a while but -40 is cold. About -15 to -20 you feel the nose hairs freeze frome breathing.

We always get at least 1 snowfall before Halloween.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:When did this start bleeding over into September?
BINGO! you get my point. Damn for years after a brutal July and August as soon as Labor Day came around we would get a little relief with maybe 64 lows and 85 highs. And 10 days ago that was the forecast! Now all of a sudden all forecasts for the next 10 days went up by 10 degrees….NO!
A lot of the work I do is outdoors, so yes I am not happy with this prolonged heat.
It is very interesting to also read all the posts about how cold it is where you are, keep those up, and PLEASE send some of that down my way.

I would be happy to send some your way when we can get out of the 90’s.
Quoted from LukyDuck:I would be happy to send some your way when we can get out of the 90’s.
You are so lucky, that is the 10 day I was hoping for. Yeah, you have 2 more days of 90's, but just look at all the 80's the other 8 days. And a little chance of rain also, damn we need some rain here way too dry.
Quoted from Tomass:Dang. We hit -25 once in a while but -40 is cold. About -15 to -20 you feel the nose hairs freeze frome breathing.
We had -49 here with the windchill this past winter. Brrrrrrrrrrrr...
Quoted from ImNotNorm:We had -49 here with the windchill this past winter. Brrrrrrrrrrrr...
Please send a little of that way down south, but not quite that much.
Very lousy summer in MN this year. We only had like 1 or 2 reported days in the 80s for the month of August. Which is absolutely unheard of. Pretty sad that September is already here and the snow and cold weather not too far behind. I don't know about anyone else in this area but I feel pretty cheated with the summer weather especially after having nearly 4 ft of snow in April still in the yard.
Relatively mild compared to the 115 degrees we were getting last year. And several before that.
Doesn't bother me one bit. I moved 5000 lbs of gravel in the midday near 100 degree humid heat this last weekend and sweated buckets. It's healthy and keeps me young.
Looks like it's ready to cool down a bit.
Anytime someone complains about the heat all I can say is you'll miss it when it gets cold in the winter, then you can complain about that.

I expected to see a bunch of people begging for winter in this thread, happy to be wrong! I despise the winter, I even dislike fall because it reminds me winter is coming. Summer is the best. I will take sweat over shivering 100 times out of 100. The shorter days send me into a depression.
We don't get the worst winters, but I'm just happy to be alive, healthy, and productive whether it's cold or hot. That being said, October is usually my favorite month weather wise in So Cal.
Quoted from o-din:Anytime someone complains about the heat all I can say is you'll miss it when it gets cold in the winter, then you can complain about that.
I have never complained about winter. At most I just have to warm my hands a few minutes before I get back out and work a few more hours. Below 22 is getting bad, but it does not get that cold here often.
Let's just say I'd rather shovel gravel in 100 degree humidity than 30 degree below zero snow. Although I don't really know what that must be like.

Working outside 45 is the absolute best for me. Light jacket for that. If not working 75 is fine. I start getting a tad too cold under 22, and too hot period above 82. Right now I am just wishing for 80's for this time of year. By no means am I wishing winter, just tired of 90's.
