Got that shovel ready? Winter is coming.
I thought that until I moved here. Winters are pretty mild and snow removal is efficient. Main roads almost never close.
there isn't a mother ****ing thing I wanna see that bad outside of maybe the winning numbers for this $600 million on mega millions
It actually does. The sun here, and probably there, has a greater concentration of UV rays hitting a single area. Due to the tilt of the Earth the UV rays glance across other states at and angle and are dissipated longer in the atmosphere which results in a lower concentration of UV exposure in a measured area.
That's why Arizonans roll their eyes the "heat index" comparisons. The UV rays kick up the heat quite a bit and anything in the sun radiates it back to you. For reference, I left the windshield cover off my car last year when it was 118 and measured the temperature of my steering wheel, it was 194.7* Arizonans will tell you that you can fry an egg on the sidewalk which isn't true, but put frying pan and some oil on the sidewalk in the sun and it absolutely will. The sun can **** right off in the summer.
I grew up on the coast near the Canadian border. Plus I’m part ginger.
Midnight shift is my friend.

For the last decade or so I’m usually on TDY April-Oct and on mids.
First time I’ve really been “home” during summer and on days.
I just spent $365 having all the windows tinted, including the windshield, on my $1300 shitbox.
It’s that bad lol.

Sounds like a good day for energy drinks and black jumpsuits.
My Volt has ceramic tint on everything but the windshield. I didn't realize clear ceramic tinting was a thing until recently so I'll be getting all the cars done in a few weeks.
I have been in AZ in scorching hot temps. Still would take it over 95 degree day with 90% humidity.
Those temps plus blacktop = BRUTAL conditions. Especially to those both older and who haven't experienced conditions like that. A canopy to at least block the sun will help a tad, but you can't do much to block the heat radiating from the blacktop. And drink lots of water. Be safe!
Tooth freeze. Now that's a bitch.It's consumed quickly, usually with a side helping of brain freeze.

**** that in the face, no thanks
lol, well since it wasn't as hot as the Main Machinery Spaces on an Aircraft Carrier, I didn't have a problem with it.
You were young then, Skitz. LOL.
Yep, I know father time will catch up with me, one of these days, until then, it's ballz to wall.
God bless you guys who have (had) to deal with that day to day. Only had to deal with it a couple times, here and there.
I'm only a CIV, worked in-service engineering on CAT hydraulics (out of Lakehurst), in late 80's, early 90's. (currently doing "stuff" on small boys).
