It gets hot during the summer in the south?

WTF?!

6/3/2008 2:24:13 PM

IN SOUTH AMERICAZ ITS ALL COLD AND SHTI RIGHT NOWZZZ!!!!1

6/3/2008 4:43:21 PM

they say the heat makes people crazy

6/3/2008 4:48:26 PM

When I was little, we found a man. He looked like - like, butchered. The old woman in the village crossed themselves... and whispered crazy things, strange things. "El Diablo cazador de hombres." Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot. We begin finding our men. We found them sometimes without their skins... and sometimes much, much worse. "El cazador trofeo de los hombres" means the demon who makes trophies of men.

It says it's 78 up in DC right now. It's 85 in raleigh.

Where are you at right now, terpball?

6/3/2008 5:08:40 PM

I had a peasant walk with the dogs today. Didn't seem uncomfortable to me.

6/3/2008 5:13:28 PM

Yesterday, near my home in Northern Colorado, we had flash floods because our higher-than-normal snow pack all melted when it hit 85.

We should harness the increased temperatures to provide clean energy.

6/3/2008 5:33:50 PM

^ That's the solution! We shouldn't be so focused on changing the atmosphere in such a way as to trap less of the heat from the sun... We should be catching those rays from the sun before they even enter the atmosphere.

Like a huge pair of shades with integrated PV cells!

6/3/2008 5:42:01 PM

^ Could work. I'm intrigued by such engineering solutions to global warming, but you have to watch out for unintended consequences.

6/3/2008 5:52:57 PM

It does seem possible, but no doubt there would be an immediate list of a dozen or more species that would utterly wiped out as a result.

We must develop crowbar technology to address the growing threat.

Maybe HAARP, which is real, is causing it:

Is that like walking to work because you can't afford gas.

6/4/2008 7:14:39 AM

hahaha, this thread is funny

This morning I thought I woke up on the West Bank though for real

I had a really UNPEASANT walk to work!

6/4/2008 9:40:07 AM

i don't know about you guyz. i could go for another ice age right about now.

6/4/2008 9:56:03 AM

Supposed to get to 95 today and 97 tomorrow.

Wow.

6/4/2008 10:19:14 AM

Feels like the fuckin WEST BANK today in DC

6/4/2008 10:44:05 AM

how hot is it there terp? humid?

6/4/2008 10:44:52 AM

it's 80, gonna reach 85

but 100% humidity

hence West Bank reference

Friday it'll be straight up GAZA STRIP

6/4/2008 10:57:27 AM

80 doesnt sound bad, but that humidity is a killer. Days like that Im happy for my education and indoor work enviroment.

Do you commute to work or walk/bike or bus? doing any of the later 3 would be a bitch with that humidity.

6/4/2008 10:59:43 AM

I'll be biking to work in a moment. I hope I survive the heat.

6/4/2008 11:03:06 AM

good luck. One word: Hydrate

6/4/2008 11:06:08 AM

I take the metro, walk a few blocks to and from the stops - it isn't that bad

Friday it is supposed to be 93

It'll be 85 with 100% humidity when I go home (or to softball if i choose)

that'll be a bitch

6/4/2008 11:09:49 AM

i'm wondering why you keep saying its 100% humidity when its not

6/4/2008 11:11:29 AM

because it's fucking raining on and off, that's why

6/4/2008 11:43:45 AM

babies bursting into flames and shit

6/4/2008 3:23:02 PM

^^fair enough i guess it is pretty high...weather.com earlier when i checked said like 60% humidity so thats why i asked, but yeah

6/4/2008 4:13:54 PM

A huge storm just passed (still kinda here actually), and there has been a tornado warning for DC proper and surrounding areas for the past hour - and it will stay in effect until at least 8 PM

6/4/2008 4:30:58 PM

its about 92 here in charlotte with about 40% humidity...its pretty hot...but yesterday it was just "pretty warm"

6/4/2008 4:32:14 PM

I'll probably be in my tobacco field hoeing out weeds Fri. afternoon and Sat. sounds like it will be early morning and late evening work for me.

6/4/2008 9:15:25 PM

the Nationals Cardinals game in DC was rained out tonight...I guess terp was pretty accurate with his humidity numbers!

6/4/2008 10:31:42 PM

its gonna be hot as fuck today...i had to load up some boxes at like 8:30am and my face got drenched

6/5/2008 10:01:09 AM

not to be all Terpball and be all DCDCDCDCDCDC

but NC has nothing on DC summertime humidity

its unbearable from 7am to 8pm from about june through early sept

too much water in the surrounding area + rain

"but NC has nothing on DC summertime humidity"

of course not...but when i checked weather.com after he posted about 100% humidity, it was really like 60%...i wasnt going off anything in Charlotte

oh wait, i thought you said NC has nothing TO DO WITH DC summertime humidity

it gets pretty hot and muggy down here too if you didnt know

[Edited on June 5, 2008 at 10:50 AM. Reason : .]

6/5/2008 10:49:19 AM

i know

im saying, after growing up in NC and thinking the summers were bad

and coming up here

it's on some next level shit

6/5/2008 11:20:36 AM

Yo, Yesterday... that fuckin storm

That was some CHICKEN LITTLE shit goin on, for real.

6/5/2008 11:24:03 AM

DC has that wonderful lack of greenery to take the edge off the heat... Nothing like humidity plus living in a city that is essentially nothing but miles and miles of thermal mass retaining the heat.

6/5/2008 11:24:27 AM

^^yeah I was in the Capitol for a meeting and they locked that shit down like "PLEASE MOVE TO A SECURE AREA"

no one even batted an eye even though you could see it coming across the river out the window like holy. fuck.
