It was warm to hot all last week in Montana. Drove home yesterday, and it got steadily warmer as the morning progressed. The western WA heat wave has moved east to Montana and elsewhere I suppose. It was 103 when I got gas in St Regis, then 111 in Spokane and Ritzville, then 109 all the way to Ellensburg. It was later in the day and cooling to 87 by Cle Elum, and 72 at Snoqualmie Pass. Had the car AC on full blast all day and could not keep the car comfortably cool. That was a first. Back home in Oly and it was in the 70s. Mrs. Salmo was watering the garden and yard non-stop since last Friday. Guess I'll mow the lawn today.
