combats2001 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not a fan of the heat, give me snow any day. I'm sure they predicted it to be a BBQ summer 2 years ago and all it did in August was rain, lets hope for a 'some where in between' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo & Oisin Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I may be moving to Alaska then! I Seriously can't handle the heat I may have to buy some cooling bandanas for the Huskies and only walk them really early before the sun is out and after sunset. the Chi will be loving the heat though!

valhalla Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I love the Heat, I certainly do not like being cold, I have been out in a sleeping bag on excersise in the 80s when the temp dropped to -20 degrees and I can say that the sheer pain in my feet when I started to move was very unplesant as the blood started to get to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I love the heat & sun, not sure about over 100C though, I don't remember the summer of 76 (well, I was 7!) but I love warm sunny days. The last I heard about the weather was: going by UK weather records, whenever we've had a really good April, which we have had, we get a very wet & cold summer .... let's wait & see what we wake up to!!

sutsibe Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 We tend to get a couple of days each summer where it's around 100 F, give or take a couple of degrees, with high humidity, and I hate it! I tend to overheat and get migraines. I'm not fond of being cold, but it's easier to put on more clothes - you can only take off so much!
