Is it hot where you are??

Still 10 degrees below normal, week after week here.They say it might get to normal next week. This is two years in a row. Record snowfall staying in the mountains. Our cold is causing the hot in the center of the country, or v-v.
I have a friend who would put a lounge chair in a kiddie pool under a deck umbrella and sit it that sipping beverages and smoking stogies while listening to ball games. There are worse ways to beat the heat.
