Finding Ulysses

How hot is it here in Trumansburg, today? We’re warmer by three degrees fahrenheit than Birmingham, Alabama. We’re four degrees hotter than Atlanta. We’re five degrees above Miami.

Now that we’re getting several super hot summers back to back, and with more predicted in the future, will we have to surrender, and start using those electricity-sucking machines?
