Some say he's nuts.

Sort of reminds me of that year some 80 years ago when the State of Maine had Snow for 13 months straight. People were starving.

Too bad they didn't have power point back then.


Here's some one who disagrees:

If only we can be so lucky that it stays in the 60s and 70s until it snows again in the NE. My shop isn't heated but it does have an A/C window unit.

Up in the Pacific NW we've already had July weather in May. Now, it's nice and balmy. Very normal. The tress, flowers, bees, weeds are all thinking this is a very good summer.

yeah, this is the weirdest Spring I have experienced since moving up here ('95). This past couple weeks we have had a lot of high clouds and some overcast. In the So Cal coastal areas we called it "June Gloom"... and it is June! Just before the June Gloom started (May) we had at least two weeks straight of 80's and higher ... which is just friggen weird for this time of year.... for those that don't know, PNW typically has very wet springs that extend into July. We normally don't plan on decent weather until after July 4th.

I know in Oregon we never packed winter coats away. Seen many a July 4th parades wearing a winter coat to stay warm....... And I'll be moving back there as soon as I sell off the properties here in MS (105 heat index today).

'Thought his name sounded familiar...

And this would definitely be a good year for it to choose to reduce the need for the A/C...

Oh, I'm hoping and praying Mark! Nothing like a cool July in upstate NY! :D I'm loving what we've been experiencing all spring....I don't have much to show for it, but I've enjoyed it anyway. :)

This has definitely been a cooler than normal year here and with very little severe weather. We have been in the 90's a couple of times so far and really didn't get into the 8's until the last part of May. I have been working outside a lot this year so I'm not complaining.
