August 4th - Hot Enough To Cook An Egg!
And it has been. We are on the 34th day in a row of 100+ degree temperatures. Not only are we breaking record highs, but the highest - low temp records have been broken as well. Today was actually a few degrees cooler. It only made it to 108, however our low was a recorder breaker as well (a high low) it was 86.
Everyone who knows me knows I love the heat. I absolutely HATE being cold. For me a picture perfect day would be 95 degrees, sunny, big white fluffy clouds and a slight breeze. BUT...this is getting to be too much even for me. The record of consecutive days of 100+ degree days is 42. We aren't supposed to get under 100 until next Friday. If we are at or above 100 degrees next Friday we tie it. It will be really interesting to see if we break that record.

on August 5, 2011I remember 126 degrees in Death Valley, but usually 70 is hot enough for me :)

on August 5, 2011It has definitely been hot! I usually love summer but I have to say I am ready for fall and some cooler temps!

on August 5, 2011So interesting to see... We hit 122 in Phoenix in 1992 I think it was...amazing to experience heat like that. Wish I had tried to cook an egg outside that day!

on August 5, 2011Super idea and display. You must be in Dallas like I am. Yes, heat is good but this is too much.

on August 5, 2011Wonderful idea! Are you in Dallas? In my small town in central Texas, we are almost out of water, so sad to watch the garden wither and die.

on August 5, 2011It definitely has been hot Jennifer. Makes me so sad to see the animals and vegetation suffering. So thankful for my AC. Fascinating and eye catching compilation of shots! Makes a statement!
