Yesterday 103 at Newark, today maybe 104, tomorrow 101, Yes when we have 3 days over 100 it is a hot heat wave. It seems like yesterday that I was bitching that it took 5 days to ploy the 30 inches of snow we had the day after christmas. Bring out the shovels.
As long as the electricity doesn't go out (keep your fingers crossed & conserve electricity!), I will count my blessings and salute the sun.
And I will take a heat wave over snow (shoveling, treacherous roads, scary heating bills) any day of the week.
Let's try to have a little perspective, lol. People in places like Arizona have to deal with 100+ degree days every season as a matter of course. Anyway, complaining about a "heat wave" (or, as they call it in AZ, "Wednesday") is pretty weak sauce considering what other states and countries have gone through this year:
People have lost homes, everything they've worked for, family members, their own lives.
Anybody with a commute that is all driving (no walking to subways, no standing around in the heat for a bus) and works in an office environment has NO reason to complain.
