ray's two cents :
Aww, that stinks Taz! It's been stinking hot here too, it hit 40*C today.
Everything feels like hot coal when things get this warm.

I feel soooo bad for you both.
When it gets down to -20F I'll be happy to send some to you. At those temps, your boogers freeze in your nose, every time you breathe in. It's called "booger-freezing-cold".
In the Winter of 1989-90, we set a record, in Idaho. -60F . That was just ridiculous! Then it "warmed up" for a week in the -20 range. Every day, leaving my girlfriend's place, heading to school, I had to put my Bronco, in 4x4 low, to break the tires loose from the pavement. Driving to school, the ice would break off the under carriage and it sounded like breaking glass, falling from the bottom of the rig.
If you ever get to experience that, it's fun for a very short period. There are things you can do that you cannot do at other temperatures. Like make it snow! My last GF didn't believe it. She was from Oregon. It was -20, last year so I boiled some water, while she climbed into a sleeping bag (maybe that's how you combat cold, in Oregon?) and walked like a caterpillar, hopping on it's hind legs (which is hilarious) so she looked like a caterpillar, imitating a crow.
We went out on the deck of her third floor apartment and she spent the next half hour entertaining herself to no end, flinging home made snow off the deck. It makes a whooshing sound when the water blasts into frost!
