QUESTION:San Franciso has had the coldest and foggiest July/August I can
remember, sweatshirt weather at the very least. We went to my kid's
night softball game in San Mateo [1], wore parkas and huddled under
two blankets, and liked to freeze to death, in the middle of July.
We never turn the heat off. The furnace broke early last month (the
clever Robertshaw electronic control module died... that's another
story) and it was like a morgue in here. My wife wanted to move into a
hotel, so I called a 24-hour furnace repair outfit and they replaced
it for $315.
ANSWER: I won't go *that* far. It's not blanket weather until it goes down below
freezing (and two may show up at sub-zero). It is piss-poor for August
though.
Well, to be honest my furnace runs year-round. It's my water-heater too.
The heat goes off in late April and I *refuse* to turn it on until at
least Oct. 15.
Wll I guess my street is rather better (Blackberry Road). Though the
misquitoes are getting to look like crows.
