So yall think its hot?

[MacFromOK]

Yeah, we had like a solid week or more of 110-112 degrees. Pretty miserable.

I think it was 2011 though.

I remember the heat some, what I remember most from those 2 or 3 years is that everything around dried up. Other than windmills, pumps or hauling water, everything was dry. Creeks, ponds and the Salt Fork trickle moved whichever way the wind blew. Even some of the smaller springs quit. We threw a 2x4" in each stock tank so the birds would have something to stand on to drink no matter the water level.

Very thoughtful.

I used to do that too so squirrels could get out if they fell in. More than once I fished a drowned tree rat out of a tank than was low.

Just remember 2011...this was from when I was in Waco but I'd imagine OK wasnt too much different. That summer SUCKED.
71 days over 100, 40 in a row and if I recall that ONE day in there it was "only" 99 to break the string and start that count over again.View attachment 103490

Thank you Obama!

We moved into our RV in a small mobile home park in OKC in 2011. I have a multi-station indoor/outdoor wireless thermometer system and the outside sensor was hung under one of our RV's slide-outs so it would be in the shade. I distinctly remember seeing 115 degrees on that sensor.

Now, we are in Oregon, where at about 3:00pm it is 85 degrees on that sensor in the shade. We are still getting down into the upper 50's and lower 60's each morning.

Same with cats. When we were on the farm, we pumped water for our cattle in remote fields out of a big stock tank that was always replenished by the water pump, and we would lose cats when that level was low. Tied a 2x4 to a fence post and put the other end in the water. Didn't lose any more cats.

Love those kind of mornings... it was a muggy 80+ degrees this morning driving home from work at 7AM.

I just returned from a handgun training course in N Ohio. It was a beautiful 80 deg and they thought it was hot ..

In 2011, the temp in Grandfield was 100 or more for 97 days during the years. I forget if that was 97 consecutive. Doesn't matter.
