We just missed out on tying the 42 day record set in 1980 for the most consecutive days at 100 or above. As much as I don't like the heat, after living through 40 100+ days, I really wanted to break the record. Finding ways to beat the heat are really important, especially since there is no free A/C while working (but I'm not complaining about working remote). I am not looking forward to our electric bill this month, although I know it's nothing close to what our friends are paying to cool their houses. One friend recently posted to facebook that their bill was $625! My jaw dropped.
One of my favorite daytime snacks during the summer months are frozen grapes. How had I not heard of this until talking with a co-worker a couple of years back?? Pluck the grapes and stick them in freezer safe containers. Pure genius!
What are some of your favorite ways to stay cool during this crazy hot summer?
That forecast made me laugh. The sun with the Xs over its eyes is the best. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing how yesterday's 95 felt balmy and cool. I'm with ya on wanting to break the record though - damn. Just a couple days short!
ReplyDeleteLove frozen grapes! Not only are they a great and cooling treat, they stay good for longer in the freezer too!
ReplyDeleteI love frozen grapes! And I'm mad too that we didn't break the record! We just went through all of that crazy heat and we don't get anything for it!
ReplyDeleteI was a little surprised that it felt cool too! And then I remembered that it was still in the upper 90s.
ReplyDeleteExactly!! And now I'm looking at another 10 day forecast of 100+ days again :(
ReplyDeleteohh i love frozen grapes! yum!
