Can it get any hotter?

While humidex might not always be an issue out here it is no an uncommon measurement.

To put it succinctly... we got to 30 on Monday, does today feel warmer? No, because Monday would've also had a humidex factor. So "feels like 30" doesn't really feel like 30, it feels like 30 at no wind or humidity (or soemthing like that), which is something most people never really experience.

Wow, you are all complaining about it getting to 30? It was 41 in DC on Saturday with humidity in the 80s.

You can all complain about winter, that is fine, but seriously, you're getting awesome weather right now!

I've got my winter weight on, 30° coupled with the blubberdex makes it feel like about 1000°.

22°C is good for this guy.

I ain't complaining.

How's the water in Sylvan Lake right now btw? Been thinking about going to the beach there one of these days.

I'm fine with this weather when I can enjoy it. When I have to work at a restaurant in front of a 500 degree oven for 6-12 hours a day with no A/C, that's when I get upset. It's killing me. It's like 60 degrees until about 9pm when it starts to cool down.

The water is warm and high, there is no beach.

To be honest, many of the locals go to Gull Lake instead. Aspen Beach is really nice and warmer than Sylvan (sylvan is just handy during the evenings). We were at Aspen this past Saturday. Make sure you get to there before 10:30. We got there around 10:30 and got a great spot, and great parking. By 11:30 it was nuts. When we left @ 4 pm there were cars lining up along the highway waiting to get in.

I've never even heard of that lake, and it's right next to Sylvan, ha. I'll have to check it out, thanks.

Somewhere around there is a nudist camp as well, or so say the hand written signs at the side of the road.

Beach ain't this big this year high water level:

We go to Gull Lake every year. It's fantastic for children with super shallow water at the beach, and a huge playground right on the beach. A lot of lousy campsites for the real roughing it crowd, but it's good if you can find a good site. We book the same site every year because I know it's a good site.

They moved the play structure out of the water. It's up on the grass now. They have dug out the grass and put in sand, it's good.

3)stop whining and crying, the temperature is at subartic levels in this province half the year, do a couple of 30 degree days really throw you that far off? If so I would suggest paying the couple hundred dollars and getting a small AC unit - its not like these things are made of solid gold and cost $300,000.00 each, they're very affordable and anyone can buy one.

Maybe yours isn't, you pleb.

Well that and he's actually heating his place that way.

You don't think he modified it so the coils are outside the house?

Edited to add: What type of efficiency would I get if I took the coils and compressor and what not out of a fridge and used it as a heat pump to heat a room in the winter?

[WhiteTiger]

I've never been a fan of "very hot" (25+), but I still find ways to enjoy it. It never lasts long, and there really is something to be said for feeling the warmth of the sun on you. Besides, the hotter it is, the less clothes the ladies wear, and that's always a good thing.

[CGY12]

I'd rather get up to go to work in the morning in this weather than snow or rain thats for damnnnnnn sure.

[Bertuzzied]

Woot rain is on it's way!!!! i was kinda pissed last nite. All that lightning and i didn't get a drop of rain by my house.

Shouldn't surf CP at 1 AM. Stayed up reading this: http://ecorenovator.org/forum/geothe...manifesto.html on homebrew heat pumps and what not.
