Texans baked in 105 temperatures in 1935....without air conditioning! We’d never make it today.
“Texans baked in 105 temperatures in 1935”
First year for the Chevy Suburban. Damn those global warming causing SUVs!
Certainly having so much concrete now versus 1935 has not helped the situation either. Houses are designed differently now than back then - totally air tight and a lot of windows don’t even open. We also didn’t build one house on top of another. We had a huge attic fan and fans in every bedroom.
Clothes were dried outside on a clothes line and my mom cooked in the morning from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., including baking a pie or cake for dinner that night.
We survived for a lot of years quite well. Remember being cold a whole lot more than I remember being hot.
