HEAT

106 w/ humidity of 35% and T-storms, shoot... 94 is nice.... I'm moving to Fillmore

George. Only 94 degrees. It was 99 degrees in Thousand Oaks. Usually Fillmore has a higher temperature than Thousand Oaks. Tomorrow September 1st. is the opening day of dove hunting season. I will be in Fillmore tomorrow at 5am having fun harvesting some of your local fowl. Chuck

109 degrees in Phoenix. Even this little guy sought shelter in my garage. We did see a bobcat this afternoon on the back patio! No snakes or scorpions today . -Steve

...104 in Manteca, CA the News reported 30 Straight Days of Over 110 in Phoenix, AZ a New Record...

109......but its a dry 109!!

80 degrees with 39% RH. Perfect cruise-in weather in Dayton Ohio for a change. Ron

We just finished up 12 days of 100+ temps - a new record in Central Alabama. Our lakes have suffered from the worst drought on record with the lake where we have a house down 8 feet. Had to remove my boat about a month ago.

Thankfully though, this past week we've had MAJOR RAIN virtually every day, mid 90's with humidity in our normal 85% range.

Popped the hose on my Pantera's AC, now in the hunt for the right condenser upgrade (in another thread).

Have a great Labor day, however your weather is!

I think we had high of 74 in Seattle. It rained too!

John

Right now it is 83 degrees in the mountains of Tennessee. A few weeks ago it got clear up into the 90s for days on end. That is right unusual for these here parts. Most times in the summer it gets up to the 80s for a few weeks maybe and sometines in the winter it gets clear down into the 30s. But most times it is what it is supposed to be, sixties and seventies. That is what God intended.

I really like the hot weather. I hate to think it will get cooler. I think I just hate winter so so bad. The last month here has been around 100 and I never used the AC in my truck which I drive every day. On the Pantera restoration I am removing th A/C. Weight saved will be about 85lbs.

96 in Reno today; I'm goona savor some Ribs at the 'Rib Cook Off' and then wash 'em down with an ice cold beer or three.

I spent the first part of the week in Palmdale CA where it was 106, but there's a breeze that comes up in the afternoon which makes it more bearable.

Same here Mark .. I never use the Pool and I would say we had some HOT temps in NY this summer. Dont think it hit 100 but damb near close and we had a bunch of 90 degree day.

Ron

A swimming pool is just a big hole in the back yard you throw money into. I have one too, and plan to fill it in.

Now the hot tub is a different story, I use it year 'round. The hot tub stays.

We had just broke a record in the Phoenix area, with 30 days over 110 degrees in a row. I look forward to the fall, winter and spring here!

High temp. of 96 deg.in Sonoma,Ca.saturday, and the crush is on......
Harvesting will continue,with high 80s predicted to continue as well throughout the coming week.
Such are the ways of this paradise called the "Winecountry" and it's fine Wines/Vines...
(Until that fire/earthquake/tsunami/flood/pestulance/landslide/market dip/ATF raid/ADD/EOA/INS raid strikes)

FYI,

Fillmore hit 97 degrees F today

Sonoma hit 98-Grapes still happy...

It got up to 90 yesterday and I still took my Pantera out for my Sunday drive. It didn't overheat. I am beginning to think that thing about Panteras overheating all the time is a suburban legend thingie.

I guess it depends where you live. When I got up Saturday at 6am, it was 91 degrees, and ended up at 111. Everybody here has big radiators, but still, if you get stuck in traffic, things can get ugly. -Steve

It was up over a 100 the last three days here in Diamond Bar, CA. Friday I got caught in traffic and 4978 got up to 200 or so. She never runs over 190. Must not have liked it much because when I got home she was gurgling. I put about a quart of water in and went for a mountain drive very early Sunday morning. By the time I got home at 7:30 it was 95 out but she never got over 190. I can't wait for it to cool down.

Maybe you should turn the air conditioner off and roll down the windows when that happens????

Fillmore hit 98 degrees F today. Thankfully the heat never lasts for long.

Ron, whatever you do, protect the grapes. What's life without a bottle of cab?

It was 93 today in those Sonoma vineyards today and the crush is still on.....
I've got those vineyards covered-just like 4744 is, but the occaisional strange parking still occurs....Only with Italian cars,tho, it would seem........!Chardonnays are nice,too.... Ron

Well, it's darn hot here too. Got up to 28 by noon. Sitting in traffic, the fluidyne was working the three fans overtime - climbing to almost 120. No grapes to worry about, but wine celler is nice and cool. Bitchen.

Wow-Looks like you better enjoy those ICE wines up there ! Dog looks happy,tho....
Wine cellers are nice...and cool...Crushin'...

Good news Ron, glad to read the temps are on their way down, the high temps in Sonoma have the readers of my other magazine worried. The phone has been ringing off the hook, everyone is worried about the grapes.

By the way, our latest survey indicated the average wino preferred a good cab 10 to 1 over other varieties.

cowboy from hell

Nice wine cellar, Ron! I'm coming for a tasting. Cab or Chardonays are fine with me.

If you listen to George, you'd think that we live in igloos, but it's been 80 and sunny for weeks.


Yesterday...

David,

I don't care if its 28 or 80, wish I was there to crack a bottle with you my friend!

By the way, the weather forcast says our temps are headed back to normal starting tomorrow! Waaaaaahooooo! Thats a good enough reason for me to crack a bottle and celebrate! Actually....I've been celebrating all afternoon, I can't feel my toes.

cowboy from hell

You can tell those wino readers of yours to relax...
Those very sweet, late harvest Ports,Sauternes, and Thunderbird Select vintages that those sophisticated palates desire are always late harvest varieties, with a lot of hang(around)time, and this weather is perfect for them all right now....
Besides.....................There's always TWO BUCK CHUCK!!!!!!!!!
You'll notice it's empty.......
Actually, I don't know how Chuck does it....
Try to find an estate grown and bottled 2005 Shiraz for less than $20....Let alone $2!

Your "yesterday" was awesome,deeb......I'm gonna take 4744 out tomorrow and pass a few myself....

Cowboy from hell...I hope those toes come back "on line"....................................Ron

7am this morning 41 degrees. Maxing out at around 66. We have had a stinky summer.

Got up kinda early to go to a all ford show 75 miles away. Seems like our summer is over!
Jeff

Hopefully it's cooling off for you guys and gals.
Here in Germany, the weather has been marvelous as we head into beer and wine fest season.
