incidentally, what's your power bill likely to look like in july?

I bet my annual bill is less than yours.

On a side note, I've not had a power bill this year because of a deposit refund.

Jeffacka

We stopped charging for power in Utah altogether. Fact

Not enough to make me live there again.

118 degrees isn't a thousand percent better than anything

cougarmanguy

6/19/17 6:02pm

Yeah, if it were 120 every day, that changes everything. There is a palpable difference between 100 and 120

Don't be so hard on Phoenix. I think it only averages 129 days of 100+ temperatures each year.

PHX was 106 on May 4th this year. May freakin' 4th. How's that "only 3 months of heat" working for you?

They get days of 100 deg in Oct too. It doesn't avg under 90 until Nov

jdub

Uh, great. Way better than temps less than 40°.

TCuz

6/19/17 6:26pm

You can put extra clothes on when it's 40 outside

jbcoug

Well you can but CBers complain

40°??? Holy cow, that's short sleeve weather.

That's gotta be a HARD No.

Yeah, It's pretty awful heat. But wouldn't you say that flights cancelled for icy conditions in winter

Louis Litt

ice =/= cold. Ice is totally different

If the runway happens to be asphalt it will buckle under the heat and stress of

The narrow body planes have issues with that kind of heat...

I always thought it had more to do with the tires on the airplane only being

Its the air density

Northwest Cougar

It has to do with takeoff and landing distance and obstacle clearance.

The next three months are hell on earth here

But it is ironic that it's typically 3-5 deg different than St George Utah

mosterlow

Ain't no one vacationing in St George in the summer.

LiveCoug

St George is many days hotter than Tucson in the summer. But Tucson is a higher

Do other states have these? I haven't seen them anywhere else.

The sucker or the scorpion?

LiveCoug

My sister and her husband do a scorpion hunt every night around their yard. They got 15 last night. That's about average

jdub

6/19/17 6:25pm

Why don't they hire an exterminator? Seems like it would be well worth the cost.

crack

6/19/17 6:43pm

Yeah, but what do you do when you need 2,800 scorpions to get back at someone?

Coach's Dad

I think they have a few times, doesn't really do the job.

I love it here. It's fun to spend several hours in the pool.

Jeffacka

I can spend several hours in the pool here, and it's only 86!

BYUALWAYSNUM1

It's not worth it to have a pool that can only be used a few months a year.

It's worse at the airport because of all the cement.

Phoenix is awful. No one should live there and everyone should just stay away.
