Weather wimps

First, a disclaimer. I acknowledge that when it comes to Wisconsin winters, I am a wimp. Several consecutive days of sub-freezing weather is no fun for me, and I tire quickly of ice and snow-covered roads. All you have to do is look back at some winter postings on this blog and you will see.

On the other hand, in the summer this old East Texas boy has to listen to the Wisconsin weather wimps whine about how hot it is. Today and tomorrow -- in the middle of July, mind you -- the highs will be in the mid 70s (23.8 C), and then it will climb to 85 (29.4 C) on the weekend. Typical comment: "It's okay today, but it is going to be unbearably hot again this weekend."

85 (29.4), unbearably hot?

Man up, people!

Here in the Texas Panhandle we have had 100+ temperatures for days. Has even been as hot as 109 at times. Now that is "unbearable." LOL
