Yes, it has the signature of the troll, the spoor of the beast.

No reason to try to reason with the unreasonable.

All of these threads about the HORRIBLE heat here in the Dallas area are more tiresome than the real heat outside.

BTW, NYC was in a bad heatwave last week. A couple of people died as well. Several thousands were w/o any power due to it. Now, being THERE would TOTALLY SUCK being in high heat w/ all of that concrete. YUCK!

Plus, it's very humid in NYC.

11:55 am in Dallas and it is 80 degrees. I can handle this over the HEAT I was in last week that was not even in Texas. While it was a constant wind of 10-15 mph with strong gusts it was HOT!

I might not LOVE the heat but I can handle it much better than I can extreme cold. Each to their own.

I spent most of my formative years in Colorado, and compared to the areas where I grew up Dallas is very humid. Where my folks live, summertime highs in the 90s aren't uncommon, but during the night the temp drops off into the upper 40s to low 50s.

Here in Dallas, it can be 90 degrees at midnight during the dead of summer. It's still hot, the only difference is that the sun isn't baking you.

Compared to Dallas, where I grew up, Houston, D.C. and Miami are very humid.

Quite true. Miami at 85 degrees is excruciatingly unbearable.

Washington at 85 degrees... you're better off inside listening to a congressional committee talk about soybeans.

Touché. I just hear people all the time say Dallas isn't humid and I chuckle. 54% humidity at noon isn't exactly dry.

Miami is NOTHING! Not even in Ft. Lauderdale with a hurricane coming in can compare to the WORST place in Florida when it comes to humidity. Try a lil further down in The Keys. URGH!!!! I am not kidding, I literally went into a bathroom while there and stripped down to the BARE minimium required to still be decent. Anything and EVERYTHING just sticks to you. Cotton and linen included. They are supposed to "breathe" but not in THAT oppresive humidity.

Just as we from the coastal southeast areas chuckle when we hear that it is humid here. I was just out in Montana where it was dry... I wasn't a huge fan of that either... my sinuses were burning and my hands and lips were always chapped.

After being in the extremes, I think it's a happy medium here.
