What a year for weather extremes in this area. Last year, start of a drought to an over-abundance of rain, to very cool Summer temps, to several large snow falls, to extreme heat.
I love hot weather but this is getting nuts.

WeatherBug says it's 97 at Harbour School, in Owings Mills. Weather.com says it's 98 in Owings Mills, exact location unknown. My skin says it's freakin' hot.
Had to drive home from North Carolina yesterday. It was 100+ most of the way. Thank goodness for AC.

FR: Ah yes. The elusive hill dodo, distant cousin of the vale dodo.

I don't know what you're all complaining about - here at Johns Hopkins it's barely 40 degrees!
FR: Let me guess... Celsius?
