    And i'm at work.

    ... and there's a turbo roadster sitting in the parking garage beckoning, whispering sweet nothings into my ear, huskily asking to be taken for a rough ride far away from civilization, where nobody will hear her scream.

    How's the weather like where all ya'alls are at? Never thought i'd be happy to see 80s...

    Same here. Hell, I was ecstatic when it was only 90 here last week. 65 overnight? Bring. It. ON!

    Typical SoFla weather here. Humid, mid 90's, afternoon rain every day. October is coming, cooler, dryer, no hurricanes.

    It's beautiful here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Mid to low 70s for a high and it got down to mid 50s last night. The humidity is finally around the 50s for the dew point.

    Same thing in Minneapolis, with a beautiful blue sky. Perfect.

    It was 105 when I was in St Louis 3 weeks ago...

    It's beautiful in Chicago today though. Mid-70s, low humidity. My kind of weather!

    Beautiful here boss; 20-28*C, dry, and the rain is staying away, few clouds in the sky. August is the best month to live in Alberta Really makes you appreciate the outdoors... of course, we can have snow as early as September 1st

    We got a ton of rain/thunderstorms overnight.........finally. I think it's only supposed to get in the low 90s today.

    Oklahoma set the all-time record for highest monthly average temperature last month, for the country.

    For once, I'm glad I'm indoors....

    In Austin, we've seen: ...24 consecutive days of 100+ (an all-time record) ...56 days of 100+ weather this year (record: 69 from 1925)

    Nothings more depressing than driving to work at 8:00 a.m. and the temp gauge on the car shows 87 degrees.

    OK, maybe the other night when got home at 9:00 p.m. and it was still 102.....

    I'll be surprised if we get any rain until September.

    We are over 40 days of consecutive days of over 100 with 110-112 common. That's not the official high, but the high where I am.

    We are in the worst one year drought in the history of Texas.

    And it doesn't bother me all that much.

    I'd much rather have it too hot than too cold.

    I can take clothes off, turn up the AC, jump in the water, work outside early or late, etc., etc. When it's cold there are no options.

    Rain in September for Austin? Up here in N. Texas I'm thinking October.

    Hate to tell you, but in sunny southern California it has been a similar summer to last summer, cool. Generally foggy in the morning, going up to 80'ish then cooling for the night. The huge heatwave that has hit the country has had the opposite effect on southern California.

    Even the valleys are barely going into the 90's. Gone are the days of 100 plus heat in the valleys for weeks on end. I have heard there is an pacific ocean current pattern that will make SoCal cooler for about 10 years, I'm all for it myself.

    When i landed in San Diego, imagine my bliss when i walked out into 68 degree weather in late morning.

    Compared to when i left Indy, and it was already 89 at 4:30am.
