Am I the only one who has never seen snow in this forum?

Holy crap. I've never seen anything hotter than 36. In fact, we had more -30 degree days last winter than 30 degree days last summer.

I have trouble imagining that because I have no idea what that means in Fahrenheit.

Multiply by 9/5, add 32. But it's easier to double the number, then subtract ten percent, then add 32.

I just used Google instead. Like a normal person. Man, **** 118.4 degrees Fahrenheit. I'd rather die than go out in that.

36C is 96.8F, which is hot but not the hottest temp we get. With windchill factor and humidity taken into account it's hard to say what it really feels like outside, but anything guessing between -17.8C to +37.8C. The record temps are -23.9C to +41.1C but those stats go back decades.

Try Death Valley in the summer. I spent an afternoon hiking there one summer and the temp was 127 degrees. I drank about five gallons of water and still had heat stroke.

I remember one particular heat wave when I was living in Arizona where it peaked at 120 F. My family and I went to a baseball game and I remember that the parking garage was like a damn oven because of bad ventilation and lack of wind combined. It was at least 140 in there based off of the thermometer built into our car at the time, but it could have been higher. That was a brutal summer.

Why would you do that?!

You risked heat stroke for a baseball game? I thought better of you, Frownie.
