[...] We’re pinning this post to the top because the heat today is no joke, at 9:30am the heat index is already 103°! Use the cooling centers; ride RIPTA, it’s free today; check in on the elderly; make sure your pets have water; eat ice cream, and visit our Virtual Cooling Center. [...]
Ah, the perennial New England past-time of yearning for whatever season you’re not experiencing.
I want all winter all the time. I’m looking for apartments in Nunavut right now.
I’m eventually moving north so I can have more winter and more snow. I would much rather weekly snow storms than 90+° days with 80+% humidity.
The crazy thing is, it hasn’t even hit 90 yet this week. Ugh.
I don’t go by the temp at the airport. I go by the temp my car tells me and what my outdoor thermometers tell me at my house. It’s been 90+ in Providence.
@Andrew I don’t think new England is alone in that regard…especially today hahaha
