Aren't those sorta high temps for y'all. I spent the month of August in
King Hill, Idaho in 1952 and remember sleeping under quilts. I also
remember how cold the creeks were around there and was told it was
primarily snow melt water. Impressed a boy from the Texas Gulf Coast I can
tell you.
I sure hope your humidity is lower than ours, we're running up 96% right
now, that's what's making our heat index so blasted high. Hit 105 here
today on the heat index but it was 110 in Monroe, 4 hours north of us. Hate
to see what August will bring.
