Hot Enough Yet

[rustyp]

Well after being a snowbird for 15 or so years this is the second year due to circumstances I'm still in TV in June. To all of you that told me over the years that the heat is not so bad and all the advice of how to deal with it, when to play, etc :

YOU LIED TO ME

Soon I'll be at my cabin in the woods on the lake in the mountains with an average temp of 74 degrees. We even have campfires at night.

[asianthree]

And that’s why many bolt to the North

[Mortal1]

Well being from Maine I love the summer heat.

As to your issue....put your big boy pants on and accept the decision that YOU made to come here and don't try to pass it off on anyone else. You're an adult...Yeah I know you were just trying to yank chains, but there are way to many whiners on forums. I ain't funny mate.

As I said circumstances have caused my delay. Accept decisions that one makes is another misguided assumption - sometimes we make our decisions. Sometimes decisions are made for us especially when health issues and / or taking care of elders are involved. As for my big boy pants - it's too dam hot to wear them and that "ain't" funny either.

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: You are a funny person. :super:

The heat is getting to me also this year. I have to increase the water consumption. That has helped me out in the past. :1rotfl::1rotfl:

[Ben Franklin]

I feel your pain. We've lived in Florida for over 30 years and we've never gotten used to the heat in summer. I could kick myself in the rear, for selling our cabin in the woods in PA. We keep searching for another cabin but no luck so far.

[Blueblaze]

Heat? It's only 91 at this moment, with a nice cool breeze. It even rained a bit this afternoon. Thank your luck stars you aren't stuck in your winter home in Texas! Same heat, twice the humidity, only rains when it floods, and your only breeze is a hurricane!

I was just thinking how nice it is since I moved that I can go for a walk in the morning, halfway through June, without constantly wiping the sweat out of my eyes. I've even got a tee-time tomorrow! You couldn't blast me out of the house to play golf in June, back home!

It's all a question of perspective.

I get it. Perspective is relative. I'm about as thankful as Mrs. Lincoln was when asked how did you like the play.

:clap2::clap2::clap2: good one! i came down FOR the heat due to wicked arthritis. after the 2nd year it does'nt bother us @ all. i still want to sit outside when dining in a restaurant, or bring a jacket when we must sit inside. the thought of going back to a colder location gives me the shivers, lol

[jebartle]

I saw a geico on the lanai fanning himself, its HOT.

[jdulej]

Sorry, I don't get why people are concerned. It hasn't started to get humid yet. Give me 85 and 85 - that's Florida!

[Number 10 GI]

Don't remember exactly if it was 1977 or 1978, we were living in central Texas and we had 30 days with no break of over 100 every day.

[JMintzer]

Time to break out the shorts!

Depends on definition of hot. Not that hot IMO, but? There alway but (with one t) it’s the humidity that’s the game changer.

I am originally from Canada, you are never going to hear me complain about the heat! I spent 30 years of my life living in negative temperatures

[Rwirish]

Don’t find it hot at all. Absolutely love the summer in TV, best time if the year.

I do not agree with your post. Is it hot here, yes it is. So...go out in the early AM and get your outdoor things done...Afternoon, stay in A/C...Evening, go out about 7:00. Problem solved.

You can say that again.
Must be pretty cool up there on that old horse of yours!:icon_wink:

[George Page]

Villagers call us ‘Snowbirds’. WRONG!
We don’t fly south to avoid snow. We fly north to avoid the Heat and Humidity.
How about calling us ‘H&H Birds’?

[Kgcetm]

Take a blanket and long johns.

[ithos]

Instead of two homes, buy one with a pool. Or get acclimated by exercising outside. It will improve your health too.

from the CDC:

Acclimatization is the beneficial physiological adaptations that occur during repeated exposure to a hot environment. These physiological adaptations include:

Increased sweating efficiency (earlier onset of sweating, greater sweat production, and reduced electrolyte loss in sweat).
Stabilization of the circulation.
The ability to perform work with lower core temperature and heart rate.
Increased skin blood flow at a given core temperature.

[GOLFER54]

Believe it or not my home has central air and my car has air conditioning.

[richs631]

That’s OK. One more tee time

[Freeda]

An option if you want a break from the heat, but want to get out of the house, is to go to the Lake Square Mall and walk; and then see a movie at the AMC, or go bowling there, etc. they have a large entertainment complex there. We do that at least once a week during the hotter months. Become an ‘A-Lister’ at the AMC (which is all recliner seating, and is reserved seating which currently is socially distanced) and the movies cost very little. It’s a fun afternoon, especially if you add eating at the Ichiban Asian buffet (wonderful, and also has sone American food) next door, the mall’s food court, or one of the many other nearby restaurants.

Plus many indoor rec center activities, entertainment options at Lazymacs etc. make it easy to get a break rom the heat. We have many more indoor activity options for our age group than could be found anywhere else!

We have become more acclimated to the heat over the years of being here.

[DaleDivine]

I love the heat. Feels great on my arthritis. I don't mind golfing in the middle of the day.
Just have to drink more fluids.
Can't understand why you're living here if the heat bothers you that much.
:popcorn::popcorn:

[donfey]

No snow in the forecast!

[sallyg]

😊 We are also from the far north. Our first summer was a shock. Believe it or not you get used to it, or maybe the shock just wears off. I envy your cabin in the woods! Enjoy!

[butlerism]

How big are those BIG BOY pants, my assumption.... size 48 at a minimum.
Remember, when it is hot we can remove clothing.
We cannot remove fat.
grow up.
lose weight

We moved here 7 years ago from the Chicago area. Before we did we rented a place we had spent two prior winters in from mid June to Mid July and every day I checked the weather here against Illinois. Was not much difference. Right now it is 82 in Naperville and 84 here. Based on that and other considerations we decided to make the move.

My pleasure to make you day. You are so much smarter than the rest of us.
Welcome now go away.

[Villagesgal]

Does anyone really care if you think it's too hot?
There are people who hate the cold, there are people who hate the heat. You're retired now and can live whenever you like. No reasons to complain, go where you like the weather.

[Byte1]

I love it here! I moved to Florida FOR the heat. But, I find it very funny when I see folks down here wearing ear muffs and scarfs plus ski parkas and playing golf during the winter here...........:1rotfl:...:coolsmiley:

Ty...glad you shut him up, if you didn't, I was going to say how rude he was to you.
I hope it cools a little gir you, in addition, your issues keeping you in the heat improve.

[Charlie'sDad]

Been in NY 3 yrs ago. Outside temps was 103 hot and humid. I checked the weather here in TV and it was 90. Talking to neighbors they said there was a nice breeze. I can get just as hot up there like it is down here. But up there we had no A/C - just a big window fan. At least down here I can stay in my air conditioned house, get into my air conditioned car, go to an air condition grocery store, restaurant or movie. I'll take The Villages over NY any day.

[stebooo]

We bolt north to Minnesota. Hard to get further north. This week it had been over 90 everyday. Car temp 102. So much for bolting north?

[JMintzer]

I dunno'... He looks comfortable...

[manaboutown]

I have a friend who has lived in Miami all of her 70+ years who visits me here now and then. A native Floridian, she told me that central Florida is both hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than where she lives on the Atlantic side of south Florida, likely due to the offshore breezes.

[asianthree]

So sitting outside under the oak tree at the lake house that has been in the family for as long as I can remember.

Torch Lake is just beautiful with crystal clear water. Will light a fire in the pit, and kick back. It’s 77. Not that I mind some heat, but why waste such a great view. It’s nice to have options for the summer.

[dougawhite]

New England is the best, 4 seasons. Summer heat but no humidity, colorful Fall season, Winter wonderland, and Spring with the blooming flowers.

New Hampshire & Maine actually have 21 seasons: Spring, mud, black flies, flood, Summer, heat wave, indian summer, Fall, leaf color, early frost, raking, early freeze, Winter, cold, snow, frozen, Nor'Easter, deathly cold, ice dam, can't see over the snow, and finally - freezing rain.

And we lived on the opposite coast. It's true that we were lower in the temperature department, but it was much more humid living near the Gulf, than it is up here. Presently, it's 92 degree here in TV land with the humidity at 45%. In Southwest, Florida it's 88 with the humidity at 70%.

[tuccillo]

Relative Humidity (RH), because of it's temperature dependency, is not a particularly useful metric. Dewpoint is a better quantity to look at for discomfort. Currently, our dewpoint is low by summertime standards - about 68. However, don't worry, it will be rise to more typical summertime values of the mid 70's, which is pretty uncomfortable. 88F with 70% RH is a dewpoint in the mid 70s.

The good news it that this world-class infrastructure empties out -- good if you like things uncrowded.

May I ask, where is it that you have average 74% summer highs? That's fairly rare, I think, unless you're at 9000' or on the ocean -- something like that.

A very fair question considering how many posters here blow smoke up you know what. Answer zip code 13420. Highest average temp in July coming in at 74.6 degrees. Oh and this infrastructure here in TV does empty out to whatever you equate that to. At my summer home it is 18 miles round trip to get a quart of milk - and I love it.

People also ask. What is the water temperature off the coast of Maine?
In the ocean, hypothermia is more of an urgent threat, because water temperatures along Maine's coast often remain between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the summer.

And now for Herkimer County NY:

168 sunny days
On average, there are 168 sunny days per year in Herkimer County. The US average is 205 sunny days. Herkimer County gets some kind of precipitation, on average, 162 days per year. Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

And, as another poster mentioned, that doesnt include the black fly days..

Must be Utopia in TV now. 105 degree heat index and mask mandates surely keeps the heart pumping. Time for me to get another log for the fire to help keep my heart rate up.
