July 7, 20223 yr Maine is pretty goddamn great this time of year. I was there at this time last summer and I fucking loved it. I could not deal with a winter there at all.

Give me one back! Come on, it is a site about football right? Fuck your fucking fuck face. Sorry man, a rare night off. I appreciate what you post, I should not have done that.

July 7, 20223 yr I honestly don't think there would be a grid failure like the winter freeze, but today's ERCOT chart makes you raise an eyebrow:
July 7, 20223 yr I haven't lived in Texas in like 15 years, but weren't triple digit temps the exception rather than the norm previously? Now you're looking at sustained daily highs of 100 degrees for months at a time.

Texas is getting hotter for sure . . . but for the sake of my own sanity I have to believe it is not quite as drastic as depicted here.

And it’s not as if we had as many super accurate thermometers 90 years ago when 1/3 of the growing region of the country literally turned into a haboob for damn near a decade.
July 7, 20223 yr And it’s not as if we had as many super accurate thermometers 90 years agoI mean, this is just completely fabricated. I have to hope this is coming from ignorance as opposed to intentionally trying to spread false information.

Did we have LIDAR satellite thermal readings 90 years ago? Did we have Jim Bob riding a horse out to check a thermometer at 2PM instead of 4:45PM? Get fucking real, man. I’m not saying we haven’t got warmer, I’m saying accurate shit wasn’t as accurate. Edited July 7, 20223 yr by Trey3216

In Vermont, it’ll be 78 on Sunday and 83 on Monday, with lows in the 50s and 60s, and looking a week out, the highs will be generally in the low 80s. Wife:

Wife: Made a call yesterday to a friend of a friend that made the move from Texas to North Carolina to kick the tires on that idea. First words he said were "do it."
July 8, 20223 yr Update for today: If the grid makes is through Monday, then it should be good to go for the summer. But damn that's going to be brutal:

I’m not saying we haven’t got warmer, I’m saying accurate shit wasn’t as accurate. So, I missed the “as many” qualifier and mostly owe you an apology. While thermometers were plenty accurate by the late 1800’s, it’s fair to say the number of stations observing was smaller. Sorry, I can’t read. Delete thread, ban user.

July 8, 20223 yr 18 minutes ago, DixonHur said: Hopefully it's windy in West Texas this weekend Yep, need some wind to kick in, as the solar becomes less efficient as it heats up.

None of my friends or my wife’s friends who have move to Colorado, Oregon/Washington/Canada, or parts east (North Carolina, NY, Maine, etc.) have regretted it and several even said they wish they’d move sooner.
July 9, 20223 yr Hot as balls in Georgia. Heat index of 104° tomorrow for little league. I’m looking forward to 111° in Vegas next week. I hear it’s a dry heat.

July 9, 20223 yr From Teton Village where it’s currently 64. Good luck y’all. I was supposed to fly home this week. Yeaaaaa that’s not happening.
July 9, 20223 yr We are 88-91 over the next 10 days down here. With a nice breeze off the Gulf. I feel for y’all. Also, stop coming down here on vacation this island is way too crowded.
