way too hot

[Dave]

It is 90 degrees. Way too hot for May. Tomorrow it goes back to 66. The 10 day forecast the highs are mostly in the 60's. Two day at 55 and a few in the 70's. Lows in the 30's and 40's. Even one day below freezing. That is more like it. Hot weather and me are not friends. I will take temperatures in the 20's and teens over the 90's all the time.

That is why Yankees and Californians think Texas and southern folks are lazy. All you see is them sitting around. Thats because we go out at 6am and work the ranch or farm until it gets too hot. Then go out again a few hours before supper. Another fine time to work or ride horseback is on moonlit nights.

I must admit the climate is fine in Oregon. It only gets to the 90s a couple of weeks in the summer. The rainy season, everybody just wears mud boots.

I am a long way east to have a rainy season. I was born and raised in western Washington. Lived for years where we got 60 inches of annual rain. It was a short drive to 100 inch area. Here in the high desert of far eastern Oregon the annual average is about 12 inches or less. The only rubber boots that get worn are irrigation boots in the summer. July and August we will have lots of 90's and some 100+ days.

We've not had any heat yet thankfully. Frost/freeze a majority of mornings and snow 3x in the last 5 days. But I can comfortably work outside in a sweat shirt all day long.

It'll be a good year if we never get above 80°.

 

[ClinchValley86]

Going to be near 90 for three days starting Saturday. Think i am going to mow hay Thursday and Friday.

Here on the wetside of Washington it was 80 today. Too hot.

 

[CowboyRam]

we are supposed to be in the low 90's tomorrow, and back to the low 50's by monday.

I think we get about 16" a year average precipitation.. we havent' had a decent rain here since winter.. could use one, things are freaking dry. going to be a fire season again if this keeps up

26° swing in the high temperatures yesterday and today

 

[Dave]

90 yesterday. 70 at first light this morning. It is suppose to continue dropping during the day. They are saying 55 at 2:00. Drop below freezing over the weekend. Of course a few day ago they said 0.25 of rain today. We ended up having a 6 inch rain. That is where the rain drops are about 6 inches apart.

I have met lazy people from all regions. Someone who sleeps in or waits until 6:00 AM to get to work might be lazy. It is daylight at 5:00. Both here and where I worked on the coast we were on the job as soon as it was daylight enough to work.

 

[Dave]

It was 90 on Tuesday. This morning it was 38 while I was changing the irrigation. I don't mind the 38 degrees. But sticking your hands in cold water and then riding the quad with wet fingers isn't the most pleasant way to start off the day.
