Rob Hall Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Don't mean to bring you all down, but here on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies, things are pretty darn fine. Hot during the day (upper 90s lately), but very low humidity, and cool nights (I'm at just over a mile in altitude, and it was 52 the other morning). We get the monsoons, too, after Arizona's done with them, but they never last long. And yes, I know how lucky I am. Thanks..every day I live with the regret of moving from Colorado to Arizona 3 years ago. Worst decision of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2002p51 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Let 'er rip! I love summer and love the hot weather. Better this than freezin' my butt off in the dead of winter. The people in my office at work are A/C freaks and they're not happy until there's frost on all the desks. I wear a light jacket all day. It feels really good at quitting time when I can finally get outside and warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh, I HATE it when it's humid. Heat, yeah, I can tolerate. But add heat with humidity and a blazing, sunny day... I'll stay in the air conditioned model room and fritter the day away there! Not that I'm a fan of winter... I don't mind the cold, but I hate snow quite passionately.

Chuck Most Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What does this have to do w/ Model cars? other than you can't paint in High Humidity / High Temps / Torrential Rain That's the main reason I hate humidity and high temps, right there. Need to do a paint job? Sorry, too humid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What does this have to do w/ Model cars? other than you can't paint in High Humidity / High Temps / Torrential Rain That pretty much depends on one's infrastructure. If you are a partial open-air modeller like me, the weather is the most important thing. As a rule of thumb: The weather in England is only good for modelling, when I have to be in the office. The moment I finally manage to allocate time to paint a model car body, it sure will be like you see it in the movies. Nothing is better for a good paint job, than a heat wave.

Wow, England is just like Michigan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
