The slow broil method: Kansas, summer 2012

[3legged_lab]

I've had the a/c cranking here since April. Me and the dogs like it cold in the house, currently the a/c is set at 62...no wonder my electric bill was close to $300 this last month.

does it ever make temperature set that low?

good question

The only reason I ask is because most residential units wont do it. All the brands I've ever installed recommend not setting the temp below 70*, it will increase your chances of freezing up your indoor coil. If the coil freezes up your only choice is to shut the A/C off til it thaws.

I keep mine at 72, and it feels cold after being outside. Took Taz to my bros new house tonight, he was wore out after we got home, he needed the fan.

I'm surprised, we haven't had it that bad once I got away from the border. Y'all have been a good bit higher up there TK and KKK boys

The midwest in general has been getting it bad. It hasn't "rain" rained here since probably May. Yeah we've had a couple little showers roll through, but they are spotty and dump maybe a 1/16th of an inch. Last one of those was 2 weeks ago.

We haven't seen 4 days without rain yet this year. matter a fact, it rained some this morning but, really more of a mist. I don't think it got to 65 today.

It snowed at my place in April...several times.

We haven't seen a single day at 90 yet and I bet we haven't had 4 days total of 80.

Got an older oversized A/C unit for the house I am in. We have a shaded corner lot with mature pin oaks that keep most of the yard shaded which is probably saving us. And the A/C seems to be doing ok keeping it right about 62 degrees in there.

Right at 100 degrees. I think we have a chance to break the record today. No doubt we will be 5-6 degrees warmer in a couple hours.

Don't remind me.

Man, you can't catch a break. With the wind whipping through last night, I suspect it blew the weather out and we'll be normal today. Wish the same to you all.

[goodkarmarising]

Cold front coming thru tonight...High of 90 tomorrow. Break out the sweaters.

88* at 8:45, forecasted 109, chance at breaking a record.
