It's Cold??

After a record breaking heat this summer...yesterday we opened the windows and the kids declared they were cold outside. All I can say about that is hallellujah.

Little Rock, AR won the Weather Channel's vote as having the nation's second worst summer. It was not simply because they suffered through their hottest summer on record, topping the brutal summers of 1954 and 1980. The clincher for the Arkansas capital was the number of triple-digit days, and the record stretch of consecutive 90-degree days

Consider the sizzling stats:

•21 days with triple-digit heat
•8 of those were consecutive triple-digit days (July 29 - August 5)
•Hottest day in almost 10 years (107 on Aug. 3)
•Record 60 straight days of 90-degree heat (June 30 - August 28)
•Total of 110 days of 90-degree heat (that's almost 1/3 of a year!)
