That certainly explains my relatively unproductive summer! I don't have AC, but had planned to get my house ready to sell...and didn't do much at all.

Can't wait for the cool fall and hoping for a snowy winter,

This summer sucked. I have no tan this year, because it was too hot and humid to even go to the pool. I sure hope this is an anomaly, just like the snowy winter was. I can't take these extremes.

Thanks for the stats....just proves my first sentence. LOL

You know what would be another interesting way to sort it? In chronological order, which will show how many sustained periods of hot/humid weather we had....or should I say, how FEW nice summer days we had.
