Ithaca heat wave

I am hesitant to do this, as it is irrelevant to most lives, including mine, as I will be on long Island for the next 10 days, but we're going to see some historic weather-related sh**t in Ithaca.

we already have.  it is like late May here already.  and it gets 'better'.  on Tuesday the 21st we are currently FORECASTED FOR A HIGH OF 90 DEGREES.  ON MARCH.  21ST.  possibly still the technical wintertime... 


to put this in perspective.  the average high in Ithaca on March 21 is 42 degrees.  the previous record high was 72 degrees in 1976. we are forecasted to SHATTER the mean temp by 48 DEGREES and the record high by eighteen.

insane.

We've broke 80 the last two days here in Chicago. The average high would be 47, and the old records were in the 70's.

The bad news is that most buildings here aren't ready to turn on AC. The high school auditorium I was in this evening was sweltering.

What must one do to get a building "ready" to turn on AC?

in the public sector?  God only knows.

It's not just a problem in the public sector. My wife works in a private office building that would have been costly to switch from heating to cooling and back again when the normal temps return, so they baked in their cubicles this week.

was my sense of humor bro.  I can see how writing 200 papers on "The Functionaility of 1.8v close circuitry in a sub atomic mirrored MUON (2005)" would sap yours, though not saying this is necessarily the case.
