I spent a few months in Yuma AZ back in 1989 at the Marine base there. It was incredibly hot but very dry so quite manageable actually. Nothing like the Middle East though. No wonder people over there are always fighting. Also spent the month of November in 88 in Las Vegas while at Nellis Air Force base. Was quite surprised at how hot it got there too being so late in the year. In the morning there would be a light dusting of snow on the mountain tops in the distance but by afternoon the temps were in the 90s.

See the triangle county between Wytheville and Roanoke?  That's Steve-Land(tm)!  We're several hundred feet above both of them, as we're right on the peak of the continental divide here, so the temp outside my door is 5 to 8 degrees cooler then they are, usually.  

Which makes this not a bad place to live in the summer!  Wink

Seeing this map almost calls for someone to write a QB64PE program that makes HTTP / REST calls and finds someone's location and graphically displays a weather forecast for their area...

I've already driven past Steve's farm using Google Maps. Unfortunately, you can't get onto McNeill Road. It ends at the entrance to Laurel Creek Road.  Sad
The landscape looks like Central Europe.

Laurel Creek Road

That's how far out in the country we are.  Google won't even drive down all our roads here!  Big Grin

If you continue down Daniels Run for a ways with the Google Camera, you can find McNeil Hill Rd.   

The first house on the left there is our family home:  https://www.google.com/maps/@37.0515766,-80.2992731,3a,75y,262.7h,82.68t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1saDFRF3wxkFQkkQb5X6rpGg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu

Probably the best image you can get from Daniel's Run, which shows our homestead:

   

Only takes a couple of hours to mow our yard there. Wink

He, he, that looks good! And the land around it reminds me of Thuringia. It really is a beautiful pice of land.

So it looks like for me, the street: Olbersstraße - Berlin-Charlottenburg

and: from above

The advantage is that I don't have to go far to the nearest self-service shop for a bottle of wine.  Tongue

You must be in a higher elevation. Looking at VA's heat map there's a small area in the SW where temps are still in the mid to high 70s. No chance of that happening here, my part of Ohio is damn near as flat as Kansas.

Here in SW Ohio we have lots of hills. It's still really hot.

RE: Holy crap it's hot! - Pete - 06-21-2024

B.S. it's not hot in Ohio. Don't you remember the T.V. series, Hot in Cleveland? Big Grin

High 60's to low 70's here on the So. Cal Coast. What the hell is humidity Huh

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go ogle my pinup poster of Betty White.

it's cooled off now but we did get the usual heat lightning in that hot spell up by the lake.
