So true.....that the heat is measured in days, not weeks or months.
Many Floridians drive up to Vermont during the summer months and say, "Why is it so hot up here?" That's when there is a "rare" 95 degree day or two and most folks and many restaurants /stores / shops / galleries DO NOT have airconditioning. But the heat soon breaks and it's back to great weather.
We've had a wonderful summer up here while other states are quite hot.
We are "dry" though .....and in need of rain.........but lately it's been very cool in the mornings and might rise to 80 by late late afternoon and then dip again for evening and overnight.........however, the humidity will return........but our sun is not as INTENSE......as Florida.
We've driven up the middle of our state 4 times recently and got to see the extreme damage done by tropical storm IRENE last August......N.Y. State's farmlands were also badly flooded.
In Vermont we saw houses tilted over........still.
Bridges washed out and just now being repaired.
Roads cut in half. Water is powerful.
Barns were washed away........down river.......
Every state has "something"..........however, in all of our 42 years up here, this is the WORST damage we've ever seen.........Vermont even made the national news last August and September, which is quite unusual.
