Not the ones from Barstow! grin



I was driving from LA to Phoenix 55 to 60 years ago. No AC in the car, windows down and stopped for gas in Barstow at midnight. It was warm and the radio guy said the temperature was 114. It felt like it.



But, it was a dry 114F at midnight.

The place I lived where I took the pic of the 120+ thermometer reading, I went out one morning to check something at 0300 and it was still 113F. I knew we'd be in trouble the next day. Might have been the day it was hovering between 126-128 at the ranger station down the road.

Oh, I understand. All too well.

I remember getting of work one afternoon, going inside for a couple of hours, having dinner, then going out to mow the lawn. While mowing I said to myself, this is rather pleasurable, sure beats what we've been having. Might have been 8PM or so. Went and looked that that thermometer. It was 104F, a perfect lawn mowing temp...............when you're used to to close to 120.

Have fun on the course.

101 here today in Sunny SoCal with scattered rain and hail.
I've worn nomex over cotton in weather like this and humped hills with a hose pack and web gear. At the time I thought it was fun. I can't imagine what I was thinking.

Normal for July and August. Figured it would wait a couple more weeks. Damn climate change.

Yeah, my thermometer hit the 100F mark yesterday. Don't know about the official one at the airport, they didn't get the frost the other morning, why worry if they got the heat correct.

Not unprecedented though, the newspaper runs a "This week in history" column and apparently it hit 100F in the olden days too.

I feel for you folks in the Valley, it might be a LONG HOT summer. And dry too
