The title says it succinctly, but I can’t help but to add a few more words and images.
It seems like every time we visit Kentucky, it gets scorching hot. We might have to switch to December visits, but that will bring logistical problems of its own.
How hot was it? Pretty hot!
109 Degrees Fahrenheit, Providence, KY
How hot is 109? Hot enough to melt asphalt.
I was foolish enough to walk barefoot from the hotel room to the pool across a parking lot. It wasn’t melted like this, but it was hot enough to burn the soles of my feet. They hurt for hours afterwards. But the pool sure felt good.
Today’s temperature of 108 in Paducah, KY tied the all time high temperature record for that city. Ugh. I wasn’t in Paducah, but I may as well have been.
Now I’m going to go examine my feet for blisters!

That’s HOT! I really shouldn’t mention this, but today I walked on snowbanks.

Even the memory of snow is refreshing. We’ll be heading back for NH tomorrow. Jonathan is already there (he had to get back to sign up for his fall semester).

I bet the water felt great after hot footing it to the pool. I hope the heat does not limit activities you had planned for vacation.

We had mostly planned to visit people, so we will still do that. David will stay at the hotel today with Penny while the rest of us go to church. We can’t leave Penny in the car for even a minute.

You’re running about 19 degrees hotter than we are. I was going to hike to the top of a local hill today, but I think I’ll change those plans.

Last night Beth asked if we would rather have it -10 or 100, and we were unanimous: -10!

Give me the 100. I hate cold weather even more than the heat.

I can always add another layer and bundle up when I’m cold. But naked is naked!

I feel your pain. We’ve had 100+ temps for 7 days in a row now here where I’m at. Bring winter back! Try to stay cool.

We’re on the way back to NH now. I can’t wait to get into some lower temps!
