I haven't been outside since I got home from work this morning. I got beer, smokes, snacks, porn, tv, DVD and air conditioning?

What the fuck else do I need?

[Buddy Holly]

Portland is hot, flat and dusty.

[Rogue]

The weather of Texas is always pretty dry so the air in Texas doesn't contain so much water vapor, which is the main "green house" gas in our atmosphere. Once you hear a big rain is forecast in Texas, then you'd better get well prepared for a storm or hurricane.

We are set to brake records for most consecutive 100+ degree days in a row here in Portland. If I recall, the record was set in 1981.

Thank God Global Warming has returned.

I was missing the summer. At least it started, even though late.

[PuttPutt]

It hit 100 up here in the Yakima, WA area too. I drove down to The Dalles today & it was 104 or something when I was there. Supposed to be 100 up here again tomorrow & possibly through the weekend.

Maybe if you live in the panhandle or west texas. The air over the eastern part of the state is plenty humid.

Supposed to be 100 up here again tomorrow & possibly through the weekend.That desert area east of the mountains used to regularly get past 110. When I lived in The Dalles, one summer, I has 122 in my back yard, shaded.

The official temperature is at the Dallesport Airport, with the Columbia River shaping "U" around it. Get a few miles away, and it gets hotter than the official temperature!

And today, this will be the third day in a row the official temperature in Portland breaks 100. It will be the fifth day it breaks 100 where I live, deep SE, almost NW Gresham.

I live closer to the Gresham city center than the Portland city center, but have a Portland address.

Huh? So where do YOU live? Here in SA we probably average 65-70% humidity in the summertime and that number goes up the closer you get to the coast.

I think the concept of humidity baffles some people. That would be horrible to have that high of humidity and that much heat. I don't think my area gets that much humidity. I think it's normally 30% to 40% in the summer, but I could be wrong. It was in the 20's I think in The Dalles. Rarely ever rained. The hot summers were bearable because of the low humidity. Never paid much attention to it for the Portland area. It's seldom feels muggy.

[Strike]

Humidity in the Portland area usually isn't too bad. About 40 to 50% range, I think. Out in central Oregon it's much drier. 100 degrees there feels like about 85 in Portland. Much more bearable.

[Jimcs50]

Dude, no. It's never a 65-70% average. It's that high early in the morning but the temps are low.

When it's hot, in the mid 90's, the humdity is mid 40's and lower. When it's near 100 or over the humidity is much lower, between 20-28% or even lower.

[Jimcs50]

Depends on what side of town you are on.

The Balcones Fault line runs down I 35 just about, so East and south, you have the coastal plains and North and West, you have the Texas Hill country formed from earthquakes millions of years ago. So that part od SA is very hilly, not flat at all.

[Buddy Holly]

[johnsmith]

So you've confirmed you're either blind or just retarded.

God you're such a fucking twat. You show a picture from the one part of San Antonio with "HILLS" and claim that this represents the city. You know as well as I do that the south, east, west, and north parts of that craphole are all hot, dusty, and flat. You don't get into any "HILLS" until you go FAR NORTH, and even then you're damn near in another town.

[Buddy Holly]

I'm going against my better judgment of just ignoring your lame retarded troll ass but screw it.

Here's the "flat" southeast side.

These two pictures are taken two miles from one another.

Hell, there are differentials of 100 feet in elevation on the south side all within a 3-4 mile radius.

But I digress.

[CubanMustGo]

Here's the deal.

People who live in most parts of TX consider elevation changes of a couple hundred feet "hilly." People who live in states with mountain ranges consider that "flat."

I grew up on the SE side, there are some nice hills (for Texas) over there, but to someone from CO or CA they're not even on the radar.

[CuckingFunt]

So you've confirmed you're either blind or just retarded.

And you've confirmed the stereotype that Texans have such a hard on for their state that they become blind to the rest of the country. Congratulations.

[ChumpDumper]

Well, I've lived in places that are flatter SA is pretty flat.

[Buddy Holly]

So it's either pancake or mountains? There's no grey area in between?. I'm sorry if I use the word flat by its definition.

Yes. There's a grey area. But there's also an issue of perspective.

Calling San Antonio flat may not be fair, or even accurate in the strictest/most literal sense, but the pictures you posted don't stand out as overwhelming evidence to the contrary. My comment was, of course, a generalization and an exaggeration, but hardly a sign of either blindness or retardation coming from a person who grew up at the base of a mountain.

I think the Portland temperature is an exaggeration. The whole city was not that hot. Maybe it was 107 around the airport and west of town around Beaverton, but I hiked a few miles through Washington Park that day and it was fine. Downtown was fine too. I didn't feel hot until two days later up on a hill in Dundee, but that was probably as much the wine as the weather.

Houston has five months of weather worse than that every year.

The temperature varies a great deal in the Portland Metro area. We did have one day at 106, at the Airport. It was hotter is some areas like mine, and cooler, especially in the West Hills, where Washington Park is. Much of it depends on the time of year, and which way the wind it traveling through the gorge. In the summer, with an east wind through the gorge, my area, and the low lying airport area get a heat blast from the desert. An east wind in the winter is the opposite. Severe cold.

Beaverton is on the other side of the West Hills, and is completely shielded from any gorge wind. Dundee, also has it's own climate, and is a hilly area. West of Parrett Mountain and south of Chehalem mountain.

Driving back into downtown on the Sunset Hwy, as soon as I hit that decline about a mile from the 405, the temperature went down 8 degrees in like a mile.

Still, even if it is that hot, it wasn't that bad. Only people in Portland who don't have air conditioning should be allowed to complain. Anyone who has A/C and is whining about the heat is simply a puss.

[Extra Stout]

BTW, what is up with people in Portland who are all, "Oh, it's hot outside, I should be able to walk around naked in front of children!" Seriously? Is that just a "I'm a total puss in the heat" thing, or a "Oh, gee I'm such a rebel nonconformist" thing, or a "This looks like a good excuse to indulge my pedophilic fantasies" thing? Sickos.

One other thing about Portland: its vaunted "smart growth." They claim that due to their enlightened liberal thinking, they have less sprawl than other American cities. It actually looked more spread out to me.

I checked the data -- not only does Portland have vastly lower population density than places like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, its density is barely half that of cities Oregonians like to look down their noses at, like Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston. Its density is three-fourths that of San Antonio. Its sprawl is worse than just about any other major city in America.

I also like their light rail, which nobody outside the downtown area rides, and their bike lanes on the freeways, which nobody outside downtown uses. Contrast with, for example, Denver, which is most frequently seen from the perch of a bike seat. Portlanders apparently are big on spending tax money to give the appearance that they believe in things they don't actually ever do.

I also like how they brag about their alleged diversity when their city is whiter than Sweden. Having sushi restaurants doesn't make you diverse, you idiots.

Portlanders overall are some of the unfriendliest, most sniveling, whiny hypocrites on the continent. They are the shittiest people I have ever met in America, hands down. The rest of Oregon is much better.

Screw you, Portland.

[Extra Stout]

To any of you thinking of visiting the area -- they hate Texans and don't make any pretenses otherwise. If somebody in Portland is being polite to you, either you are paying them for a service, or they recently moved there from somewhere else. Otherwise, they are at best indifferent and at worst openly hostile.

I don't buy that it's just because of political differences. Seattle is not exactly a bastion of conservatism, but the people there are like an order of magnitude better human beings.

Well, they started that mindset after the city grew to the current boundaries. Population density will grow over time. However, their plans are causing all kinds of havoc because of zoning.

Yep, it's a fucked up city in that regard. Out city planners are always high or something, I think. The TriMet system is subsidized to a real high rate. Ever since the first rail was installed, voters never approve more construction, but we get it somehow anyway.


I also like how they brag about their alleged diversity when their city is whiter than Sweden. Having sushi restaurants doesn't make you diverse, you idiots.

"The City that Dreams." I think that was one entry for the new city motto.

We were real diversified in the 1800's. Portland was the port of entry for so many "Shanghai" orientals!

wiki: Shanghaiing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghaiing)
The role of crimps and the practice of shanghaiing resulted from a combination of laws, economic conditions, and practical considerations that existed on the American west coast in the mid-1800s. Crimps flourished in port cities like San Francisco in California, Portland and Astoria in Oregon, and Seattle and Port Townsend in Washington.There are all kinds of old tunnels under the city.


Portlanders overall are some of the unfriendliest, most sniveling, whiny hypocrites on the continent. They are the shittiest people I have ever met in America, hands down. The rest of Oregon is much better.

Yes, there are many who are just like that. Like I always point out, the Capitol of the North Left coat!

Avoid downtown. Go to an outlying town, or the outskirts of Portland.

You pay handsomely for the privilege -- probably 20 cents a gallon. You don't have the option of self-service; if you pump your own gas, it's a $1500 fine.

[SAGambler]

Dude, no. It's never a 65-70% average. It's that high early in the morning but the temps are low.

When it's hot, in the mid 90's, the humdity is mid 40's and lower. When it's near 100 or over the humidity is much lower, between 20-28% or even lower.

I suspect he meant "dew point" which is entirely different than humidity.

[Wild Cobra]

You pay handsomely for the privilege -- probably 20 cents a gallon. You don't have the option of self-service; if you pump your own gas, it's a $1500 fine.No, it probably adds 3 to 5 cents a gallon at the most. The primary difference I think is the state tax of fuel, then Portland has a city tax too. I get my gas in Gresham, and it's cheaper than Portland. Then I can walk to Gresham city center faster than into the Portland city center also. Since we have a price per gallon tax, and no sales tax, when gas was near $4.00 a gallon, we were cheaper than most places in the nation!
