It’s just not warming up this morning. 11 above with wind chill of 9 below. 22 mph wind. Not very pleasant outside.

Lot warmer down here, 19. I'd guess some of the wind gusts are topping 22, even the big trees look a bit agitated.

I've been through Vegas a few times, at least once was around 110. Riding in 110 with real low humidity feels like someone opened a big oven door, just bakes you. I learned quickly to wear gloves, long sleeve shirt, and if no windshield, at least a 3/4 helmet with a face shield, skin would get so hot it was painful. Lot of folks in the Southwest seemed to do ok with baking in the sun, though. Guess I have tender skin.

Spent the summer after I got of the service in Vegas roofing. Working with hot Asphalt heated up to 520 degrees was not a fun job.
