Odd fact, it's never hit 100 in Tampa either.

Despite how it may seem I'd love to live somewhere one day where the weather is basically the same every day. I seem to have this masochist streak of either living somewhere where it's below freezing for two straight months or hotter than the blazes of hell for two straight months.

ETA: That said, I still and will likely always prefer the heat to the cold.

Really don't mind the summers here so much, but the little things bother me. For starters, my office window has some western exposure so I have to leave the blinds shut from basically June through the middle of September so it's like working in a cave. (Even with artificial light, which I shut off in the afternoons since it adds to the heat in the room.)

I mean, #FirstWorldProblems and all but I'm looking forward to being able to have the window again.

If I were single and had about another $100K socked away for retirement I’d move to Cuenca, Ecuador where it’s 72 and sunny everyday. I could live with that.

It must be worse in Seattle?

The afternoon clouds are circling today, belying what I'm about to say. That hour a day rain that cools, but then also makes things super steamy after, that you used to be able to set your watch to in the summer, is gone. That weather pattern really doesn't happen anymore. We certainly get storms, but not every day.

Because of flash flood warnings and the inability to deliver clean water to Watkins Glen, Phish just canceled a three day festival in NY that was set to begin tomorrow night.

I have one friend with his 4 kids and wife who rented a house for the weekend and just got to NY from MA today and another from CA who just landed in Rochester. Brutal.

It's a beautiful area, but very little to do there. Throw in 45,000 bored Phish fans with nowhere to stay during the height of the tourist season... Not a pretty picture. As a guy who has been to several Phish festivals, 45,000 Phish fans in the best of circumstances is not a pretty sight.

So I'm looking a probable cat 4 hurricane hitting the NC coast at the end of the week. It could break the record for the farthest north a cat 4/5 has ever hit the Atlantic coast (current record is Hazel, right at the NC/SC border). Oh, and then it's supposed to stall and just sit there for a few days, dropping over a foot of rain in parts of NC.

Totally Kafkaesque

Not same storm but schools are closing in Ky from massive rain and flooding. Not in Lexington but in a lot of nearby counties.
