Hello, from NW Oregon — currently one of the hottest places on the planet. Feels like a convection oven. My puppy found a bunch of dead baby birds last evening — almost certainly related to the heat. Hard not to read the symbolism into it.
- adreamingsoul 5y agoHi, I hope the heat wave resolves soon. I love the PNW and this type of event scares me.
- gdubs 5y agoThanks - it’s definitely been a disturbing event, and hard to convey just how unusual it is. Portland was a couple of degrees from the Las Vegas record yesterday, and the infrastructure just wasn’t built for it. We’re just south in the Willamette Valley, and have a heat-pump system that’s been doing a decent job, but apparently you’re not meant to run AC more than a 20 degree delta from outside temps. So, we were at 80-90 inside yesterday by end of day. Today is supposed to be the worst of it, and then we’re supposed to drop to normal summer highs.

- hkai 5y agoBy your anecdotal logic, if you encounter an unusually cold winter day, that will be proof that global warming doesn't exist.
