It doesn’t usually get “hot” here until mid July, and by hot I mean consistent day time highs over 80°F. We just don’t get all that hot here ever. The record high for where I live now is still only 101°F.
We have had Junes that didn’t break 75°F and were overcast for almost the entire month. On those years we use the alternative name for the month, “Juneuary”!

Now close your eyes and visualize the terminal moraine left behind after the next period of glaciation, with all of the modern artifacts of our "civilization" bulldozed by a mile thick sheet of ice over the period of a few tens of thousands of years. I fantasize about mounds of ground up Prius', wind turbines, and solar panels emerging from the receding ice sheet.
I was in Mukilito that day! People sitting in the water to cool off. I sweat a tad but went up the hill and had a couple IPAs. Bought my new lady boss a box of custom chocolates too. Last P.M. had a nervous breakdown, this one had some common sense. Maybe not the moraines but the landfill mountains will provide lots of surprises in 10K yrs. Heard the car auction guy on the radio, this week lost $ as few buyers and nothing to sell.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. But we are still in the tunnel. Night temps are still 3 to 15 below 0. But daytime highs are in the teens to 20 deg.

The cold finger almost got me this morning .
The warmest night in 2 weeks , 21° and the plumbing slushed and choked down to a dribble wide open . It got down to a drip then started burping and grumbling like an old man . It cleaned up in time for my shower but I was grumbling with a certain amount of blue thunder I'm sure for and hour or so .
There were several house fires last night and we are the last stop on the line , at least on our leg , I wonder now if they didn't over run the lines and have a cavitation or something weird and we just got the air .
Been 48-52 blue skies and dry today .

If you get one get a APC brand: they are a little more but also work better. They have an inverter: Taking AC to DC back to AC making clean power.

Well we've been having-20 to -35 below at night with a daytime temperatures from zero to -10. But it looks like a a break is coming by Tuesday we will just make the positive side of zero and stay above freezing for the next week with night temperatures in the negative single digits. But snow for 5 days. I hope we just get the inch a day snow fall.

Its still cold... 16. But sunnis shining bright and looks like makings of a nice winter day!
Not sure what kind of APS you speak of but yes, needs to be an inverter in line. Most non-motor stuff can take pretty good variance on 60hz (50-70) and usually 90-130 vac. DC stuff is usually just a volt or 2. Big problem with the 'grid' switching is making sure the 'line' is started in-phase and freq. Takes time to get MW generators miles apart synced. Not synced and really bad stuff happens. Can't just throw the switch.
Oh, almost 50F now.
