Nope!  Any 24 hour period that stays below 32F for the duration is an
awfully cold spell here.  Anytime it drops into the single digits it's a
major event.

The humidity I can understand.  Today it never got beyond the 80s.  That's
wild for August.  I was taking advantage of the cool temp to do some things
I may wish I'd left 'til later, but I did them anyway.  80s or not, the
humidity was high and it seemed warmer - or at least it was more
uncomfortable - than the temp would indicate.  I just hope we have an early
and very, very long fall.  They are rare, but it would sure be nice.

Most folks here consider air-conditioning a necessity.  I think it's not
under our normal low humidity, but there are times (say...May through Oct)
when it makes sleeping easier.  I have it and it's been some years since I
didn't have it.  If I had to go back to doing without it, I might find that
it was more necessary than I think.
