308kiwi Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yeah I know you guys are all basking in the balmy warm and brilliant sunshine, but it's winter here, just poked my head outside because it all of a sudden went quiet, yep, it's friggin snowing. Too dark, 9:30 pm, to take pics and make you all feel chilly, will see what tomorrow brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I love that silence when it hits. Could do without the cold though. Stay warm. I'm sure 98 could send a little heat your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I was rocking some 110 last weekend, and the "weather-guessers" said it would only hit 105~106. They're actually predicting a "110" for this weekend, so we'll see what it really turns out to be... I had to get up at 6:00am to to some reloading, when it was a cool 70... By 8:30 or 9:00, it was 90, so I hung it up for the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a couple of days in your hometown last October DNP, loved San Diego, clean, friendly, GREAT restaurants with awesome hospitality, was certainly one of the highlights of our US holiday.

It's when they use humidity, to trick you into thinking you're really in a truly HOT place. It just makes those "humidity people" feel better about sweating. "It's 95 degrees outside folks, but with the 85% humidity, it FEELS LIKE it's 106 degrees out! Be careful out there today!..." REAL heat is when you don't even know you're sweating - because it evaporates as soon as it comes to the surface of your skin. POOF! Gone... You don't get the "cooling effect" of a mild breeze - because that 115-degree hotass "mild breeze" isn't blowing on any sweat on your super-red, burned up skin. "Dry heat," they call it.

sketch Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 damn i loved az last visit bro! the heat was perfect. i didnt sweat at all! lol drank enough to be hidrated and run all day! and night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'm guessing it takes at least 3 guesstimaters. Each goes outside, comes back in and reports what they think the temp is. Average all 3 and you have a "feels like" reading. "Feels" takes perspective and I don't care for it. I've seen my wife in a jacket at 75 degrees because it "feels" cold out....meanwhile I was sweating a bit. Maybe "feels like" needs more categories. For thin people...it feels like xxxxxx....for us fat bastards....it feels a bit warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Yup! I remember 2 years ago almost to the day when we moved Josh from 29 Palms, 116 when we drove through Phoenix. We were loading the trailer with furniture at 3:00 AM in 29 Palms and it was 104! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventured into town today, local gunshop having a mid winter sale so I felt obliged to go and spend some money, 6 deg, (42 F) at lunchtime, decided 'screw this' went home and have the fire lit now.

Sisco Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 It was 48F last Sunday up here. Got up to 55F. Yesterday was typical. Got to 86 F by 1pm, wind switched to the NE, went to 68F. Wind stopped at 3 pm, went to 84F. Wind started again at 4:30pm, went to 70F. Live next to the world’s largest natural air conditioner. Middle Lake weather buoy water Temp is still only 42F. Kiwi, that wet cold is the worst. Goes right into your bones. Correction: -30F is worse, doesn’t happen often up here. Where I was ice fishing in Canada in March, they hit -42 F in January. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
308kiwi Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 ?yeah our cat is particularly smart, she's been around a long time and knows what’s best. Screw that Sisco, -32F, coldest I've ever seen the mercury here was -21C, (-6 F) and that was cold enough for me, spent that day thawing out diesel fuel lines and filters to get machinery running and stock fed.

Sisco Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 All day rain with a high of 64 today. Too humid and damp to reload in the garage, don’t want it to affect the loads. Might do case prep instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
