105 here in NYC... I observed 115 last week, but didn't have a camera. And that wasn't counting the humidity. J

Dang, so much for IB4TL.
Saw 113 the other day, which is pretty much unheard of for San Jose (came from a balmy 82 in Santa Cruz)
I'd never seen any number that high in the MINI...

I hit triple digits on mine recently right here in IL. I didn't get any pictures though.

Sure you folks in the no-winter states can hit 100 plus but here in the Midwest, that is doing something.

Then, as mentioned by someone, we will hit double digits below zero in six months.

Why do we live here? We are idiots.
