I live in the hottest aeria on the planet.......tomorrow

....since I am "just down the road" from Greg

Last week we had extreme cold warnings.

On Monday, we got record snow fall rates ~11 cm (~4.3 inches) per hour during the worst of the storm.
I knew I had to plow mid-day, but hard to see anything.... all windows covered and everything, including other vehicles, just white!
We ended up with 45-50 cm (18-20 inches) of snow from that storm, with more since...

Now, back to extreme cold warnings; -28 deg. C. (-18 deg. F. ) on the thermometer with a wind chill to -37 deg C. (-35 deg. F.) tomorrow......

Oh, and today the heater in the truck quit..... that was a cold drive home......

EDIT: I am not complaining Micheal, just contrasting.
Try to stay cool, don't get hurt!

Tomorrow we are expecting temperatures of 45°C in my town Wellington South Africa and the town over is expected to reach 50°C. Hot enough for you?????

I like my 20F plenty. I could not take 45c /113 for very long. In the cities they don't like the heat either, tensions rise, more murders.
I'll take the cold. Although on the other thread about heated floors, I would like that for my basement floor, or more wool socks.
 
I can dress for the cold and be comfortable. I have spent a whole day in the woods deer hunting when it was -25°F (-32°C) and enjoyed it.

When it gets that hot I can only take off so much clothing before I get arrested...... :grin:
 
I have been in places in the Middle East, which were hotter... And I had to be wearing full battle gear (to include a sappy plate ballistic vest). Under the vest was a long sleeve top and an undershirt.

But yep! 45C is quite hot.

Consider this before you wish for it; a day of 122ºF would melt an awful bunch of snow. Think flash flooding.

I can deal with the cold. 122ºF would be difficult. I'm not sure that our central a/c could keep up. I would expect widespread brownouts/blackouts.

Sorta like last year when it got down to 11f here on the TX gulf coast. Our grid can handle 3-digit days but most have electric heat and that apparently takes a whole lot more juice than air conditioners.

No worries. My problem is,when you are cold,you can add another layer of clothing,but you can only take so much off...
