How Hot Is It At Your Place?

15 years ago

It just hit 90 on my thermometer and it is humid too. Not bad at all here in the house though. I just put a pasta bake in the oven. I have baby Alyssa for awhile today. She is very good even though she is teething. Yesterday her Mommy called to tell me Alyssa "giggled" for the first time. Of course she has been making lots of sounds for a long time, but I guess this was the first giggle. I plan to make some iced tea to go with our pasta for lunch. Not sure what else to go with it. How hot is it where you are and what are you doing today?

Above 90 before noon and will hit triple digits in heat index for the next few days.

Climbing to 90 today, but thunderstorms are predicted for this afternoon or at least in a few hours. The weatherman said winds from this line of storms have been clocked at 70pmh! I so scared of wind.

Carol, I knew that if you were home, you'd be watching it. I watched it too. Early on, I thought it would pass to our southwest, but then it became apparent it wouldn't. So, I ran outside and dragged about 15 containers with plants (mostly peppers and tomatoes but also a few flowers and herbs) up underneath the patio cover. There were some I couldn't move because they were too heavy. Then I just made sure the pets all were inside and that the windows on the sunporch were closed. After that, all we could do was wait it out. The brunt of the storm hit about 2 minutes after I went inside. I was watching the radar like a possessed woman. One cell, which at one point had a tornado in it, was moving towards Granbury, and my cousin's family is south of Granbury, so I was watching it. Another severe thunderstorm was moving right straight at my mom's and brother's homes in Tarrant County, so I was watching it. Tim was on the way to work, so I was watching for storm development along his route, and then I was watching the storm that was headed for us. We got 6/10ths of an inch in the gauge, but a lot of the time the wind was blowing the rain sideways, so we may have had more than what made it into the rain gauge. Based on the large puddles, we might have had up to an inch. A storm spotter reported a tornado in the air near Thackerville, but no one else saw it and no one could see it on radar, etc. so most of us discounted the report as erroneous. There were tons of trees, tree limbs and power lines down in and around Thackerville so that community did take a real beating. Some power poles snapped in half. I'm inclined to think it was straight-line wind damage, and not the supposed tornado. After the main storm had passed, and all the cops and firefighters were out dealing with the damage, and the electric co-op guys were working to restore power, we started getting very, very strong outflow boundary type winds blowing back at us. Those winds did additional damage, especially in Marietta, which wasn't hit as hard by the earlier winds as the Thackerville area was. I think we sustained less damage than either of them since we're right in the middle. We only lost power because of trees in the Thackerville area that came down on poles/power lines. In our neighborhood, overall there was little damage. Even the pecan tree limbs that came down were dead wood with no foliage. The garden looks lovely after the rain storm. I think the moisture helped a lot since we'd gotten so very dry. I bet we have killer humidity today though. It seems like a good day to stay inside during the heat of the day. I am really concerned about how hot it will get, in terms of what the heat will do to the cool-season plants. Oh, and you know how sugar snap peas are in their growth habit--more leaners than twiners, so a lot of them were lying flat on the ground this morning when I went out to check the garden at daybreak. I picked up the vines off the ground and loosely zip-tied them to the trellis. For as strong as the winds were, I expected the corn to lodge and for at least some tomato plants/cages to be on the ground, but neither thing happened, so we were really lucky.

How do you fill your hot sauce bottles?
Q
Comments (20)
bed bath and beyond has 2 packs of a heat resistant funnel that I use the smaller one from. works great with a normal 5oz woozy bottle (standard hot sauce bottle), as long as the sauce isn't ridiculously thick. and since I boil my funnel with the bottles in preparation for filling, being heat resistant is a plus.

hot weather: how do you get your cat to drink?
Q
Comments (13)
One of my old cats use to love to drink out of a glass (I think she liked it an extra bit when she thought it was a person's glass of water). As she got older, had more health problems, and needed to drink more water, I sometimes got in the habit of setting a glass of water out somewhere near to where she was. Her brother loved to drink from a dripping faucet and could manage to get in the tub to drink out of that dripping. Sometimes I plugged the tub and then he would have a little reservoir of water to play in after a few minutes, and I could turn off the drip. Could or would your cat get in the tub? Sometimes they like ice and if you throw a few cubes into the water bowl it will intrigue them and get them to drink a little more. Good luck.

How are your plants growing in this hot weather?
Q
Comments (6)
My hardy hibiscus has yet to come up, and I believe it drowned with all the winter rain, since it's in a container. I won't replace it. They're pretty, but I have enough plants. My mulberry cuttings never put out any green, so I pulled them up to check, and the roots they had had rotted off and they were rotted halfway up the stem. Guess I overwatered. I's o.k. I had no place to plant them anyway. The blackberry plant is also dead, but I thought maybe it was. Wont' replace that either. I never even got one berry from it. None of the perennial seeds I'm attempting to start indoors have sprouted, even though I'm very careful not to overwater them. I think God is trying to tell me to stop propagating, so I won't be starting or buying anymore plants. I'm too old to fight Florida weather.

Right now it is 95ÃÂ° and tomorrow is predicted to be 101ÃÂ°. Also thunder showers everyday until Thursday.

I like WARM weather, but this is HOT!

Not sure what I'll be doing today other than staying in and keeping cool.

My, that is hot! A giggling baby sounds like so much fun. :)

It's 61 degrees here. I have the day off, but I didn't have time to plan anything for it, so I just have a free day.

Shoot, I just posted our weather on Glenda's post from yesterday. In a word: rainy.

I have a peach cobbler in the oven. Ususally Harry makes it but he's too busy with his Kindle these days (grrrr). We need to run to the grocery later for milk. Haven't done much else today. Managed to get the bed made and shower, though. Not much else except the daily pick up and put away.

We must be having a cool wave it is now down to 86 and cloudy!

Our two girls joined us for lunch and I sent the rest of the baked pasta home with Amber for their supper. My giggling baby also went home. I did not hear her giggle as she slept most of the time while here. She was quite happy when awake though.

It's hot again, another day over 100 (well, only at 100 at the moment). I think, this is the 14th day in a row.

Got some plywood to finally put my mattress up on a platform. Should be easier to get up in the morning. :)

Mel came over with his pickup, and helped. Then we moved the big TV, and he fixed my brakes on my bike.

As a Thank You I took him out to lunch.

Just got back, but will head out again, to get groceries. Really tired of this heat...

Too hot and humid. My thermometer says 89 now but it will get hotter later in the afternoon. We are having thunderstorms every night. I just love them. I am staying indoors where it is cool. I have Finn here for 3 hours today. Tomorrow after water aerobics, I am going to stay around and enjoy the pool.

It's been stifling the last few days, well into the 90s with dewpoints in the 70s. Storms came through last night and dropped the temps until today when it was back up there. But at least tonight it's dropped into the 70s with dewpoints in the low 60s. Not bad out there right now and tomorrow should be mild but back into the steamy stuff after that. October, where are you when we need you?

Hot and Humid here. With the humidex it feels like 102Ã¯Â¿Â½ We may get some thunder storms and rain this evening. I hope so. We need the rain so badly now. Hard to believe after the record breaking rains in June. My lawn is like straw now.

Hot and very humid here too! Forecast high of 97 with a heat index of 110 today. You know it's hot when you get out of your vehicle to go into work and your glasses fog up immediately.
