Actually, it was 92 on Memorial Day

It was in the low 90s the Sunday, Memorial Day it was 95, the day after
only 92, then it kept dropping.
We had a low of 47 a few days later. Had to go around closing all the windows and digging out something warmer to wear to bed.
We have had lower lows that week, a few years ago, around 2011, it was 33 degrees over night.
Our low today is 72 with highs in the highs to be in the 90s.

A recently late friend who lived in Erie, PA turned her a/c on as
soon as it hit 70 degrees, saying it was hot.

That's about comfort level for me... Low 70s, maybe to about 75... No
a/c here anyway, except in my car....

I seldom use my a/c.
First I gotta drag it out of the closet, position it in the window, etc. This is only after its been in the upper 90s for several days. And then its off and taken out when not needed.
When I was on my trip last year I never ran the a/c in the car.
The only time it was on was when I picked it up. Before I left the lot
it was off and the windows down.
The only time the windows were up was if it were raining, or parked when
I locked the car.
Speaking of which, I'm on the road again, starting Monday.
This time its to "east" Virginia visiting various "hysterical" sites:
Patton museum in Lexington, VA, Appomattox, Monticello, Williamsburg and other places both colonial, revolutionary and civil wars.
Hopefully by then most of them will be open and no lock down.
I don't want to go somewhere to find a closed sign on the door. Happened
a few times last year.

You can have it... ;) I never really put away the summer or winter clothes... they are still where they can be at hand when the temps
change drastically and one need them again... ;)

A friend in Syracuse advised I bring a jacket with me, in May! Usually around here in May a jacket is the last thing people think of wearing. :)

We had very similar weather.... just not quite so high as yours... we
did close the attic door to keep the heat in when the lows dropped into
the 40s... and now have reopened it since the highs went back into the
80s...

We have had lower lows that week, a few years ago, around 2011, it
was 33 degrees over night.

That would have been uncommon even for us... ;)

Our low today is 72 with highs to be in the 90s.

That's much too high for late spring.... ;)

And then its off and taken out when not needed.

We only use fans... an attic fan to exhaust heat out of the house, a box
fan to throw cool breeze into hot stuffy rooms, and a box window fan to
pull cool night air into the house... :)

When I was on my trip last year I never ran the a/c in the car.
The only time it was on was when I picked it up. Before I left the

As a friend says, your choice, my choice... ;) When it's hot and
humid, I really do need the a/c in the car... :)

Enjoy...! <G>

Can you check stuff like that out ahead of time....? Find out when
they're open, which days closed, and all that...? And double check that
they aren't still in restriction mode....?

Some days this past May, one wouldn't even want sleeves on their
shirts... ;0 And then there were a few days when the sweater jacket was
right welcome after all... all in the matter of a week or so...! Crazy weather.... ;)

I've had only one car with a/c, that was the '70 Chrysler Newport I
inherited from my mother I gave away in 1987.
I usually only ran it a few times.
In the spring/summer I would turn out on to blow out the dirt, keep
things working, etc.
I had a cat at the time, no carrier, and would take her on trips with me. She did well once we were on the road but at first she raced around trying
to get out. I had it on then but once she settled down off it went off and
the windows came down.
She never attempted to "escape" when I parked the car for some reason. I
had the windows down to help keep her cool.
There was one time I let her out to explore at a roadside picnic area.
When it was time to leave I couldn't find her. I called and called, looked
and looked then finally said in a loud voice "Well, I guess I'll just have to leaver her", went to the car an

I have been checking on some places online.
A lot of the places are outside, so doubt much of a problem there.
I'll monitor that as I travel along.

was sufficient to get her to race out and get into the car.... ;) She
was an intelligent feline, by all accounts... ;)
