1. Gives me the chills
I'm in PA and freezing my keister off. Nose, fingers and toes are room temperature and I haven't turned on an air conditioner in a couple of years. Brrrrrrr!

2. Just curious ...
What has the weather been like where you live? (What does you bill run?)

Night temps are in the 50-60's. Days in the low to mid 80's. Only one day in the last month has been over the 90° mark. Usually run the A/C during the warmer days and open windows most nights.


Here in West Michigan, our electric bills are in the $50-100/month range.

3. It's not the heat...
...it's the humidity, and Cincinnati is notoriously so. Even if the nighttime temps get down to 70 degrees, you gotta keep the windows closed to keep the humidity out. With an A/C running all night every night, my bill's about the same as yours.

4. We were in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago!
It was VERY humid! Otherwise, a nice place to visit!

It's usually quite humid here, too. Unusual weather lately.

5. Same here in Northern Indiana...
The temp has been getting in the 60's the last few nights, but the humidity has beem near 100%.

Waking up in the morning under wet bedcovers and having everything in the bathroom "sweating" isn't my idea of a fun way to wake up...
