Out of the Blue

It's supposed to be incredibly hot here today and tomorrow, as the heat wave that's gripped part of the U.S. this week makes its way east. Not that it's been cool or anything, but they say the temps will hit the high 90s, and the heat index will be in the 120s(!). Is it too early for a cold beer?

Getting yourself warmer is a no-brainer so long as you layer up appropriately and have some shelter if it's windy / snowy / etc. But unless you're talking extremes (blizzards, arctic, etc) you can do what you want outside. Though shelter helps, especially at night... being homeless in the winter can be a death sentence without a place to stay or a fire or whatever.

In the melting heat, you're less flexible. You pretty much have to stay in specific areas (buildings / pools) unless you want to risk heat exhaustion or just sweating a lot. Shade only does so much and isn't always around, and 'running to the pool' isn't much better than 'staying inside.'
