one can "beat the heat" by refraining from outdoor Activities. But you can at least get out and travel if needed. 4 - 6ft of snow forces you to stay put. |

In the heat you can only take off so much. You can dress for the winter. I live across the street, literally, from an L station, so I don’t have to drive anytime I don’t want to. I take the train all the time. The difference in outdoor activity in Texas and Chicago in the summertime is almost indescribable. Everyone is outside here all summer long and there are a dozen festivals throughout Chicagoland every single weekend.

Today we are celebrating the National Acadian Day. Remembering the ethnic cleansing and deportation of the Acadian people by the British between 1755 and 1764. We are rotating our staff so they can participate in the various events.

Two days ago, 105F and yesterday 106F. It's supposed to start backing off the heat but today is wildfire smoke -- don't worry Canada, this is homegrown Oregon wildfire smoke. I'm not sure if the smoke blanket will help or hurt with the heat -- today is supposed to be the last day of triple digit heat.

Shortly after I moved to Chicago and then again recently I checked the NOAA website to see how many times it has been 100 or higher here. Since 1870 it has been 100 or more. A total of 65 days! Almost 165 years!

I didn't ride this morning because it was too chilly. And yet next week we're supposed to have 4 or 5 days in the upper 90's. Crazy weather, although I've seen days in September that were over 100F before.

Yesterday's high temperature here was a refreshing 73F, with lots of clouds and occasional mist. Not complaining for mid-August.....

We had rain the last two days and temperatures in the 70s. Just saw on the news last night the highest temperature in Chicago this summer has been 93 degrees on one day at the end of July. Right now 93 is forecast again for Sunday and maybe 94 on Tuesday. My sister in Phoenix did not find this amusing.

It's rare that it goes above 95 F here, and the average late-June to late-August high is 85 F. It's been less than 80 F here for the past couple of days, but next Monday is supposed to reach 95 F.
