Torrential downpour and lot-o-thunder but well short of "You're All Going to Die" wind.

The only things that gets excited are the sweat glands in my butt crack
I'll take the extreme heat. And once you move away to a warmer climate and live there for awhile, so will you.
Yeah but when I sip on a glass of whiskey in front of a fire in the winter, no one questions it. But in the summer when I walk around shirtless in the neighborhood drinking Jim Beam from the bottle all of a sudden people get their panties in a twist.
Worked outside most of the day. By 10 am (started at 9) my shirt was fully drenched and by 11:15 my pants just below my pockets was as wet as my shirt. Humid enough that it was just hard to catch your breath at times.
Not a chance. I have a bit of heat induced asthma. With the cold you can always put on more layers only so far you can go with the heat.
Also **** Texas.
When I was younger I would have agreed. The heat sucks, but when temps get below zero **** just doesn't work right. I hate the nights of -30 hoping nothing goes wrong with my furnace and all the vehicles will start the next day.
Don't get me wrong, I ******* hate his heat as much as I hate the extreme cold. But given the choice of 100 or 0 I would choose the heat most of the time
I can deal with 100 degree weather. But 100 degree weather and 80 degree dewpoints...mother nature can eat a big fat one.
Yeah but if you're furnace goes out there are plenty of back up options. If the air conditioner crap out ur ******.
Regarding your vehicles I suggest ditching the carburetated vehicles and upgrading to the world of fuel injection, it is pretty sweet.
OHELLNO. Some of us were smart enough to move AWAY from Texas.
Honestly there are about as many modern secondary options for cooling as there are for heat if you really couldn't' handle it for a couple days.
I’ve been to the hottest game in Jack Trice and I’ve been to the coldest. I had fun at the coldest and I rethought my life choices at the hottest. Give me -20 degree wind chills over 110 degree heat indexes any day.
I lived in Florida for several years after college. When people asked me about moving back home to Iowa with the winters, my response was always, “You can always put on more clothes, but you can’t get more than naked.”
I still like being outside even when it’s freezing. I go for walks way more in the cold months than I do when it’s insanely hot and humid. I bundle up and just walk around downtown. It’s peaceful and I stay cozy with the layers. Wouldn’t even consider it on days like today. Folks probably wouldn’t enjoy me being in my birthday suit, either, but you get my point.
The coldest for me was the KU freezer bowl...we stayed for the whole game so bundled we could barely move, and had a blast.
The hottest was the season opener two years ago. I ended up spending most of the first half in the aid station getting water misted on me & ice packs behind my knees & neck. We went home at half time.
I can always put on more layers. There's a limit to how many I can legally and aesthetically remove in public
We said F it around 11:00, took an early lunch and just did inside stuff. Rest of the roof can wait until Wednesday, roofers aren't coming until Thursday.
