Do not. I repeat... DO NOT allow anyone to tell you we as a planet or society aren't experiencing significant and substantial GLOBAL WARMING. This is a very real and very deadly environmental crisis our planet is in. And unless you are an Alien, yes, it applies to You.

Just as we were about to go to dinner last night, it came down HARD. I'm pretty sure I counted at least 17 drops on the windshield when we got in the car.

Overnight, I'm not sure how I slept. I had to actually swipe the wipers once to clear the windshield.

NOAA reported that FOUR places in Ventura County had measurable rain, up to 0.02"

I'm sorry for your loss. Will insurance cover it?

Meanwhile, I haven't washed the car in weeks because it keeps raining every other day. Heck, it's raining right now.

I’m sitting in the car in my driveway waiting for it to let up a bit. It’s freakin pouring. The water is running down the sidewalk like a river.

My home weather station, which is generally accurate, says 105F.

The forecast is for hotter days tomorrow and the next day. Records are falling.

According to our (very accurate) news, July was our 9th straight month of below average temps. They followed that story up with a global-warming story about our unusually high temps.

Prossx · 08-13-2023, 08:35 PM

Globally is it warming, locally it is climate change. Never had this much consistent rain in August in northeast KS - lawn looks like its April & mowing 2x/week whereas usually quite dry. Flip side, the KS aquifer is severely depleted so maybe this will help but disturbing that normal weather patterns are very disrupted now.

This is one of the main reasons I live in Chicago. The summers here are fabulous. And to me they make the winters worth it. Upper 70s today in Chicago. Having moved here from Texas (which I love!) I watch Texas temperatures and since my sister lives in Phoenix I watch their temps, too. Well over 100 in most of Texas today and even right this minute at 9:00 at night still above 100, with highs over 100 forecast for the next 10 days. Phoenix is the same, just add a few extra degrees. During July the low, overnight temperatures in Phoenix exceeded Chicago’s daytime highs virtually every day. One of my favorite things about Chicago is that as the month of August moves along you can watch the temperature start to decline day by day. In Texas and Arizona that doesn’t happen until the beginning of October.

The Summers may be mild there for sure. However... There is no way I could live with shoveling snow and ice each and vevery winter.
one can "beat the heat" by refraining from outdoor Activities. But you can at least get out and travel if needed. 4 - 6ft of snow forces you to stay put.

Just what I want to do all summer. Stay in the house because it’s too damn hot to be outside. Chicago doesn’t get 4 - 6 feet of snow at one time. The city of Chicago has almost 300 snow plows that start plowing the streets as soon as the snow starts falling. Being from the south, my 340i M Sport is RWD. I have a dedicated set of winter wheels and tires and I can get anywhere I want to go with no problems.

In the heat you can only take off so much. You can dress for the winter. I live across the street, literally, from an L station, so I don’t have to drive anytime I don’t want to. I take the train all the time.

The difference in outdoor activity in Texas and Chicago in the summertime is almost indescribable. Everyone is outside here all summer long and there are a dozen festivals throughout Chicagoland every single weekend.

Today we are celebrating the National Acadian Day. Remembering the ethnic cleansing and deportation of the Acadian people by the British between 1755 and 1764. We are rotating our staff so they can participate in the various events.
