I don't know about you, but growing up thunder and lightning scared the crap out of me. Like most kids, the loud sounds were enough to send me to the closest windowless room with as many of my stuffed prized possessions as possible (by the way, it was typically about 12 stuffed animals, my cat and the radio shoved in the upstairs bathroom until the storm was over.)
I don't know about you but I've been ready for the hot temperatures to hit since, well, the cold temperatures started. Lets be serious, once that chill is in your bones, it's almost impossible to get it out!
