I’ll be in northern Ohio next week to see my family, and we’re hoping the weather will be warmer and brighter there than it has been here in eastern Massachusetts. Our June was the second gloomiest on record (“losing” only to 1903), with a high of 62°F for us on July 1.

You must live close to where I am in SW Ohio; it was only 70 on Wednesday. We broke a record for the “coolest high temperature” day; the last recorded day that was that chilly was back in the 1890s.

Still, I would take a high of 70 over a high of 90 any day!

Are you sure you don’t live in San Francisco?

I hear it’s still blisteringly hot in Austin this week. Luckily, I’m staying with friends in St. Paul, where I had to close the bedroom windows today because the room was getting too chilly. And I was wearing jeans.

I don’t wanna go home . . .

TKay@54 – Where are you in SD that it’s 70 degrees? I’m in San Marcos and it must be 90.

No, sir, I’ll trade YOU. It’s 102 in my backyard. But I won’t trade Ryan. I don’t do 115. Nope. Nuh-uh.

90°F | 54°F in Portland. The range probably means good things, although I should have exercised this morning. Oh well.

It means that you should find out which neighbors are growing tomatoes and make them your best friends. In a couple of weeks there will be a good crop.

How come it took me leaving and coming all the way to San Diego–where it is 68/70 everyday–for it to finally cool off in Ohio? Damn. This just means that when I return in August it’ll be 95 and shitty again.

Dave in Portland: I assume you mean Oregon because here in Maine we’re working on 3+ weeks of nearly non-stop gloom (5th rainiest recorded) with > 3x as much rain for the month of June as usual. Average high temp (mid-fifties) was only 2 degrees higher than the usual average low temp.

I think the entire states in a funk…

I love that it’s not sweltering, but all the rain here in Massachusetts is making my farm share kind of strange. They haven’t always been able to plant or weed when they want to. On the plus side, we have ridiculously large piles of strawberries. On the minus side, no basil yet, and the tomatoes will be late.
