Weather and other bits

I gave that a like, but that’s sort of saying, “All the black widows are gone…they were eaten by the giant rattlers. We’re good!”
In all actuality I'm glad it rains here. It comes with hazards at times but it's possible to grow your food. In Nevada the forcasts are like:
  • Sunny and hot
  • Warmer than yesterday, still sunny
  • Bright and dry, some wind
  • Dusty, oh and still hot
  • ...
  • ad nauseam
 
I can't do it without air conditioning. The A/C is set at 17C, which for me is arctic blast. That guarantees that (a) the mosquitoes disappear and (b) I don't get overwhelmed by the heat. A decent fan also works perfectly.
Wow that is arctic AC! We set ours to 78F/26C in the daytime during summer heat which is pretty comfortable, but we generally have very low humidity which helps. We had 117f/44c days last summer.

At the moment we've gone from balmy 65f/18C daytime temps last week ago to arctic 36f/2C with 4" of snow day before yesterday and 11f/-12c last night from an artic dip which is on its way out.
 
Definitely colder tonight. Barely made it up to 15°C all day and now already down at 11.5°C.

Think it will be single figures by the morning, so I've just shut the bedroom window!

The upside, is that it won't be too hot to cook tomorrow, I'll be needing to cook to keep warm.

The apparent temp is 10.7°C 🥶

Here is the irony. Next week when we will be in Hawaii, the weather here will be balmy, maybe high 70s and low 80s. At the same time, it will be raining in Hawaii. You can’t plan for the weather.
 
The sun finally made an appearance this morning, but by afternoon, we had snow squalls with 50 mph gusts, so once again I got to chase my trash cans down the street.
