Seattle People...

[lithera]

Beware.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday are supposed to be sunny. And not just sunny but potentially upwards of 90. Yes. We're going from mid 50s and rainy today to 80s and sunny and possibly more by Friday.

If it hits 90 on Saturday, I'm just going to lay on the floor at home and try not to melt.

Stupid heat.

Then we'll be back to this exact weather by Monday.

What the hell.

Well on the plus side, there'll be screams of joy at Ihoz Labs from Ms I Can't Believe I Moved to Seattle to Be With a Boy...

well, it'll be a good test to see how the apartment does with heat.

[cmpriest.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know. It makes me want to KILL.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

So I have heard. *chuckles*

[kielrain.livejournal.com]

The going to the heat for a few days won't kill me..... it's the going back to this, so suddenly, that will make me die, a really painful death.

yessssssssss. hates the rain. hatesss it. give me sun. STAT

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I like the rain. Anything over 85, though, and I feel awful.

I think I need to consider clothing with built in heat sinks...

[seanb.livejournal.com]

Heat sinks work well for overheating problems caused by internally-generated heat, but aren't so great for environmental heat. You need a way for the heat sink itself to dissipate heat. This is why many "fireproofing" efforts involve actively countering any "heat sink" properties of a building.

Perhaps with a synapsid-style radiator fin...

A slightly more low-tech solution might involve a highly reflective substance that still provides adequate airflow. Tinfoil hooded cloak and robes?

[grymor.livejournal.com]

I guess I was more thinking of clothing with water filled channels, an optional reflective outer surface (or maybe just a reflective umbrella to deal with direct sunlight), a reservoir (2-3 gallons of water maybe?) and an evaporator. In other words, convection circulated open system refrigerator (artificial sweat without actually getting wet/sweaty?)

Damn, now I need to see if that would actually help.

Hmm, probably wouldn't be very effective without an an actual heatpump, though I suppose you could add some one way valves and do that hydraulically while walking, not sure the extra effort would be worth it though.

There you go. No reflective surface, but plenty of water cooling goodness... If you've got $300 to blow.

And the cheese festival is this weekend... If anything melts, I'm gonna write a letter. Stupid weather.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Noooooo!

NOT MELTED CHEESE!

[bmessina.livejournal.com]

Hey, if it was a grilled cheese festival, then I wouldn't mind so much... But this is a cheese tasting event. I don't want all of the cheese to be friggin' 90 degrees.

I'm particular about my cheese, dammit.

As is your right.

Today is just about perfect.

[seanb.livejournal.com]

Saturday will be Scion, and I'm guessing Cody doesn't have air conditioning.

I'm very much sympathizing with Vlad's opinion on The Furnace.

Re: Today is just about perfect.

[pullthestars.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Perhaps bringing a fan will be a good idea.

Fortunately, wunderground and King 5 agree that Burlington will be a couple degrees cooler than Seattle.

I had a weekend of 70s then cold, then HOT, then ... snow? I wouldn't put it past this year.

[eggies-red-dres.livejournal.com]

This spring weather is making me nuts. The snow was bad enough.

Give me a cool, damp, sun- glittering- through- raindrops spring dammit. And I mean NOW! /grumble/

[richardjgrayson.livejournal.com]

I would die without air conditioning. No two ways about it.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

Hmm... we're supposed to be in the 90's, but instead it's in the 50's and raining.

Someone accidentally switched our weather.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

..... That explains so much.

Heat? I scoff at your paltry 90 degrees!

[nottagoth.livejournal.com]

Add long sleeves, long pants, and 40-60 pounds of stuff on your person in the heat. Good times. I just hope I can avoid the triple digits for as long as possible. Good times.

JOE! JOE JOE JOE JOE!

You take care.
