"exactly how bad is it going to be?"

And this is like no El Niño I've ever seen before. We're in a full fledged drought up here. For June, Portland had the most 90º
days in its history. It sucks.

Hot enough? Highway northeast of Seattle is melting

Wait. There are places where roads don't melt in the summer?

Portions of U.S. Highway 2 northeast of Seattle are melting due to hot weather and heavy traffic, and state highway officials’ attempts to repair the melted sections aren’t holding up, The (Everett) Daily Herald reports.

Really? That highway was built to not be able to withstand balmy mid-80s weather in June, when the record high (from Jun 1995) was 96F?

Whose fault is that?
