Stay hydrated guys

2 weeks ago today my pickup was covered in ice when I went to work in the morning.  1 week ago today we hit 100 for the daytime high,  we havent seen a daytime high below 90 since then.  calling for 96 today....way way to early for heat like this especially since we have only seen about 1.5 inches of rain since late march and we had an open winter.  getting bad dry here and the wind has been relentless.  

I'm going to Las Vegas next week for business. Guess what the high is for Wednesday? 117 degrees. But it cools off on Thursday to 114.

Twin Cities roads are buckling under the extreme heatMnDOT has fixed 43 road explosions as of Thursday, and anticipates there will be more.The unrelenting blast furnace gripping the metro area is pushing roads to the breaking point.

MnDOT says it has responded to nearly 45 road explosions in the Twin Cities since 90-degree temperatures arrived last Friday, and with only a slight cool-down in the immediate forecast — 88 degrees on Saturday — the agency is bracing for more.
"It is a traffic emergency," said Anne Meyer, a MnDOT spokeswoman. "If drivers see one, they should call 911."
Road blowouts, as they also are called, happen during periods of extreme heat as pavement overheats and pops. And with nine straight days of temperatures over 90 degrees, the conditions have been ideal.
The Twin Cities is currently experiencing the third-longest streak of temperatures at 90 degrees or higher in history. Such a streak has happened six times, most recently from July 9 to 17 in 2006, according to the National Weather Service. The longest stretch was 14 days during the Dust Bowl era, from July 5 to 18, 1936, the weather service said.
As pavement warms, it expands. MnDOT cuts grooves in concrete to give it room to expand and contract, but buckles occur when the pavement expands beyond the space allowed, causing it to pop up, Meyer said.

The pool is even a little....dare I say....cold right now.  And our AC bill is WAY down for May and June so far. 

The flip side is I wont get 4th of July sweet corn this  year.  Not unless we really see some heat units over the next couple weeks.  Probably will come in July 15th-ish

This is in Clear Lake.

Really glad this is just a short term thing and nothing be concerned about.
