my remote thermometer hit 110 earlier, in the shade, but i dunno how accurate it is...and i'm in charlotte, not raleigh

6/29/2012 3:59:12 PM

According to weather.com Morrisville hasn't been any hotter than 104°F. When I was out for lunch my car's temp said 97°.

6/29/2012 4:03:34 PM

i had that thermometer out in the sun earlier and it got up to like 112 before 1pm

then i put it in the shade right outside my door, and it only read like 92

so by my calculations, it was about 102 degrees in charlotte today, +/- 10 degrees

6/29/2012 4:28:23 PM

did anyone try baking cookies in their car yet?

6/29/2012 4:30:32 PM

is it warm out?

i hadn't noticed

6/29/2012 4:31:57 PM

You hadn't noticed? YOU HADN'T NOTICED?!?!? lol

I just looked out the window and my eyes burst into flames. Now it's hot and I can't see.

6/29/2012 4:34:33 PM

I baked cookies. It took 4 hours. Started at 10am and they were done by 2pm. Tasted great! I took pics and posted them to facebook. I'll try to see if I can post them here.

I mean, my boxers did melt off during lunch, but I just thought it was gas

6/29/2012 4:37:17 PM

haha please post.

I want to try and bake something else, since cookies have been done many times.

What about a boxed cake?

Or Brownies? Or breakfast bisquits?

6/29/2012 4:38:04 PM

So...um, it's so hot that part of 440's pavement has buckled:

Kind of a neat read, especially for us weather wonks.

6/29/2012 4:55:46 PM

Cookies ready to bake at 10am:


Noon update w/ temperature at 100 degrees (really spread out!):


2pm Update w/ temperature at 107 (at that point tied the all-time record high for Columbia):


Just after 2pm when we took them in...they're done!

If you haven't been outside in Dallas, TX in the middle of summer, then you don't know what hot weather is. Fact.

Where the hell are you?

7/1/2012 8:05:32 PM

looks a lot like the weather in the east bay, except for the rain part. b/c the weather here is fucking amazing, and i don't mind saying so.

7/1/2012 8:11:11 PM

I don't know if the Pacific update time is a hint, but it looks like an Oregon or Washington forecast given the cooler temps and rain chances.

7/1/2012 8:17:00 PM

ugh I played softball today

The mercury may have read 100° yesterday but with the partial cloud cover I was quite comfortable spending 4 hours outside at the pool.
