| I'll bet it wasn't as hot in China. That would prove it's all their fault. |

| It's been hot for Seattle -- mid- to upper-80s -- although my new house stays fairly cool (good cross-wind). This weekend we bought an umbrella for our glass deck table, which helps a lot if you want to sit outdoors.
It's been so hot, in fact, that this morning I had to shave down a door. The heat made it start sticking in the doorjamb. |

| It's only 82 here today. We seem to be moving into normal weather. I hope.
I recently had to shave down a door because it stuck in warm weather. Only took me fifteen years to get around to it. (Okay. I didn't really do it myself, but it's done.)

| What’s weird is an internal door started sticking — but the cedar gate in my fence has actually SHRUNK by 1/4” in the heat. Last week it was sticking. This week you could pass a pencil through the gap. |

| We have two doors about eight feet away from the (previously) sticking door, on the same level, that have never had a sticking problem. There are two doors about eight to ten feet away from the sticking door, on the lower level, that have never had a sticking problem. Just that one dumb fucking door.

| My daughter and son-in-law have just landed in San Jose, coming to visit us. It is now 112.7 degrees here. How are things in Brooklyn, Richard?

| Actually, not so bad, just at the moment. 70s at night, 80s during the day. Just as well, since my AC just gave up the ghost. I expect I'll have to replace the compressor - it's the one that came with the apartment, so it's a full 30 years old. My apartment is a duplex, with the lower level (where the bedrooms are) at sort of half-basement level. Downstairs is usually ten degrees cooler than upstairs, so we only ran the air occasionally, and in many of those years very occasionally.
There are supposed to be thunderstorms around, but whether we actually get hit by one is very iffy. Got caught on the street without an umbrella last week, but mostly it's been raining at night. |

| Weather has been nice for several weeks. Far too much fog in the mornings, but highs in the seventies and low eighties - even had a few days that didn't quite reach seventy. Today it was 110 degrees. WTF?
The big fires are about finished. They have had them at 98% contained for a few days now, with little or no growth. Together, the two fires have eaten nearly eleven hundred square miles. That's a lot.

| An Allstate commercial keeps popping up on my TV where the spokesperson starts: "A 500 year storm should occur once every 500 years, right? In fact, there have been 26 in the past 10 years."
Good job climate change is a hoax. |

| Allstate obviously doesn't what is meant by a "500 year storm." Statistics are very difficult for some people, especially when they're trying to sell you something.

| I wish we had some of that heat now. Temperature in the teens and dropping, with a stiff breeze putting wind-chills well below zero. Fucking polar vortex. |

| Another little touch of the polar vortex. 6F, going up to 17F, with wind chills below zero all day. But it's supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow. |

| Heard from my daughter in Brooklyn. It's cold enough that she is wearing my old pea coat (now fifty-six years old). She has always said it's the warmest coat she can find.

| Entering our second week of snow on the ground in Seattle. Temps between 16-31 degrees. Very unusual for us.I'm pretty sure all the paint in my tool shed is ruined. |

| We don't have any snow here this year, but we have rain. About two dozen inches at my house. - Quote :
- The state of California has been declared drought-free for the first time in more than seven years.
Generous winter rains have filled the state's reservoirs and the Sierra Nevada snowpack is now 50 percent higher than average.
This is the first time since mid-December of 2011 that the entire state has been classified as being free of drought, and the moisture deficit is not severe enough to cause social, environmental or economic hardship.
The current picture marks a major improvement from just one year ago, when nearly 70 percent of California was still classified as suffering from moderate to severe drought. And only three years before that, the Sierra snowpack had dwindled to virtually zero.
Meteorologists say extremes of weather, swinging from drought to deluge, will become increasingly common as the climate continues to change.
Although California is now drought-free, many other parts of the United States are not as lucky. Currently, the worst conditions are in New Mexico, where the drought is in its severest category: exceptional. In a drought of this magnitude, widespread crop losses and shortages of water in reservoirs and streams are expected. |

| While we have had some very cold weather, and we have had some snow, the usual 6-inch blizzards seem to have been absent this winter. All in all, pretty good overall, I'd say. Drought never seems to be an issue over this side of the country. |
