Sunday In My City - July 18, 2010

In St. Louis, Missouri it is terribly hot.  The word, sweltering, is probably the most apt description with the high humidity.  It is so hot that when you first step outside the heat and humidity totally suck the air out of you.  By your second step you begin to sweat.  Really, it's quite lovely and does WONDEROUS things to your hair (can you read the sarcasm?)

So let's step back in time, like six months, when St. Louis offers the exact opposite - bitter, ass biting cold.  We don't get much snow here (which isn't even right for as freaking cold as it gets), so even with the faintest of dustings kids brave the cold and assault the nearest hill which also are not in abundance so really any high spot.


I love snow.  It makes me happy.  I just wish it didn't have to be so damn cold to get it around here.

See?  Here's me bitching about the cold during a heat wave!

  2. oh, I long to see a bit of snow... I went outside for a cigarette a few minutes ago and nearly had a heart attck because I thought it was raining - turns out it was a leaky water pipe. The 50degrees and 90% humidity continue!!

  3. That's a good way to cool down - to post winter shots! :)
    I don't like snow. But I don't like too hot and humid neither!
    Have a pleasant Sunday...

    NOTE
    I've moved to WordPress!
    I hope to see you there.
    Next week I'll be back on track and post a 'normal' SIMC post.

  5. I love snow only for a short while. But given a choice, would definitely vote for snow than sweltering heat!!!

  6. Oh..we're snow land here. Heaps of it. Melts by May, but we usually get another 'spring' storm. I'll take the heat anytime! But snow is fun, and can be very pretty. Fun captures. I hope it cooled down your day!

  7. What a great idea to post this right now! My body dropped 10 degrees just reading it! Fun pics, too!

    Enjoy the storm!

  8. That is precious little snow. In Michigan where I grew up, you wouldn't even think of bringing out the saucers for that - I guess it all depends on where you live, huh? Too funny.

    I hope that helped you cool off a bit :)

  11. How quickly one forgets winter when temperatures soar into the high 90's or more. Looks like this was great fun though I hate freezing weather.

  18. This is just what I needed. An exciting snowy sled ride on a hot Sacramento day. Thanks for reminding me of the blessings in both the heat and the cold!

  19. I swear I felt a cool chill just looking at the pictures.

    Do you bitch about the heat in the winter?

  20. Don't you wish you could just snap your fingers and bring it back just like that? You could hold your own Christmas in July! Looks like a lot of fun, but I agree - I don't like the cold. I would rather be hot, actually!
