A/C: how big a gap?
 

I need to have it very cool at night, when I sleep. I prefer 70F at night, and I like to keep it around 73F during the day most of the time.

I had a brain fart. I corrected the post.

Send me a Hallmark sympathy card, kay? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Would you honestly change it for Seattle weather?

low 70s high 60s for the next week, no one uses AC in their residence.

You live in a place that makes AC a fundamental part of living there. Would you trade that fact of life for more mild weather in lieu of AC?

Good morning 41 Action News Weather Bloggers,

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect at least through Friday. The all time hottest June temperature in Kansas City recorded history is 108° in 1934. We will likely make a strong run at this record Thursday as the western and central Kansas air heads our way. As you can see it was 115 degrees in Hill City, KS Tuesday:

Here is the 7 day we showed on the 10 PM newscast last night. Meteorologist Brett Anthony updated it this morning, tweaking the highs a bit. He lowered the 107° to 105° and he may be right, but I believe we will have highs between 102° and 111° across much of our viewing area on Thursday:

That western Kansas air will be forced our way later today and tonight and temperatures will get out of control without a cloud in the sky and with a nice westerly to southwesterly breeze on Thursday. The heat wave begins today and we are forecasting 102° this afternoon. This is the beginning of what will likely be a rather dangerous heat wave. The biggest dangers will be to the elderly, people working outside for long periods of time, and to our landscaping. I just looked at the latest GFS model and I really don’t see any chance of rain for a long time. Once the heat builds in it will be hard to move out. If we do get a cold front in here we can hope the heat gets pushed way out of here, but more likely it would get pushed to our south and west and just come back in as the pattern shifts back into the building ridge. There is some potential for some tropical easterly flow making it this far north, but I don’t see this possibility at the moment.

I will try to update the blog later this afternoon. Have a great day! It’s summer time!

I like 68 in winter, it just seems extravagant in the summer here.

about the same as KC in measurable precipitation
more than KC in days with measurable precipitation

That's what almost drove me crazy when I spent a few months there.

How much did you pay for your walk in closet with a carport, again?

People really are spoiled here. If the temp gets above 75 then the local news talks nonstop about "the heat wave" while if it gets below 65 you see folks bundling up like it is winter in Antarctica. Kind of funny really.

Don't even get me started about how every time there is a light sprinkle the local news does their "STORM WATCH!" http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif

On the other hand, a walk in closet with a car port is about all you need if you aren't entertaining, having kids, or the like.

Where I'm from, "carport" refers to a gravel or paved lot which may or may not have some shelter.

A garage is your typically fully enclosed building.

Here it is a paved area with cover on three sides. Basically, a garage without a garage door. Yeah, they suck but when I bought back in 2004 (at the height of the bubble) all I could afford was a 1450 sq ft place with a two car attached carport though it is in a nice neighborhood close to the beach. If I was to buy now I could easily afford a 2000 sq ft place with maybe a three car garage though the lot size would still be 1/4 acre or less unless I moved further from the ocean. I actually want to hold on to my place and put a nice cash down payment on a second house (where I would move) while renting this place out when the time comes.

Yeah, well at some point it is more practical for the chilly party to put on more clothing than for the over-warm party to put on less clothing...

Women in less clothing is never a problem for me.

I'm like Aeson. Never had A/C. Why do you need it?

We'll be in the high 90's this week in Philly which is typical. I honestly have no need or desire for A/C. I even go running in the heat.

I think people really are pussies. Sorry, but unless you're elderly, I don't see how you can't handle 90-100F and need an A/C.

Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a tropical species. We are built for the heat.

As someone whose family has been in Canada since the 1700s, I disagree.

I can handle the cold, but I'm definitely not built for heat. You're the opposite.

It's not a matter of not handling it. I can survive without it. But why? It's much more comfortable to have it. And the cost of it isn't very high at all.

You may think 82F is fine, but I think it's hot. But similarly, 40F is T-shirt weather for me. I don't even consider a spring jacket til it dips below freezing. Somehow I think you'd find that uncomfortable.

Oh yeah and Asher, I did OCS in the winter. They cracked the ice and sent us through the water.

Dozens of guys had hypothermia.

I can handle a little cold.
