Here It Comes.
Not that I'm obsessing, or anything, but here comes the cool front! Looks like I'm going to get caught in the worst of the storms on my way home, but I don't care. It's worth it.
Meanwhile, Lynn S has some great pictures of what we can expect on the other side, only even more so. I almost agree with her that the misery of the heat is worth it because of the extra delight in the contrast when it cools down.
UPDATE: Made it to the Metro just ahead of the storm and in the teeth of a 30 mph headwind that put so much grit under my contacts as to essentially blind me. By the time I got off in Virginia, the storm had mostly passed over already. The power was out at the Butcher's House when I got home and stayed that way until some time around midnight, meaning dinner was a box of saltines, some fruit and a bottle of wine.

Posted by: Leopold Stotch at July 27, 2005 07:47 PMI met a friend for dinner at 5:45pm. The termometer in my car read 100 degrees when I went in. While we ate the thunderstorms passed through and when I got back into my car the thermometer read 77 degrees.
Still steamy humid, but much, much cooler, praise the Lord!
