That IS crazy... guess your area is trying to balance out NB>> the rest of the country... like the close to 100 degree weather that NB>> Alaska has been getting, along with all those wildfires.... It sure NB>> does sound like Seattle instead of Summer, though... ;) EV> In June 1991 we were in Red Lodge, Montana. EV> A Man had a wagon hitched to a Horse and was taking people on a EV> sightseeing tour or Red Lodge, so we got on the wagon. EV> As we were riding we noticed the Lilac Bushes were just starting to EV> Bloom, back home in Southern Indiana the Lilac Bush in our yard had EV> Blooms on it in April. EV> The Driver of the wagon told us that in April they had Snow come in EV> overnight that was up to the top of the Front Door. Well... there is a reason that they publish Zone maps for growing seasons... EV> The next day we drove over Bear Tooth Mountain on our way to EV> Yellowstone National Park. EV> There was Snow on each side of the Road as we got up towards the top EV> of the Mountain, but the road was clear. EV> It was a surprise for us to see Snow in June on the Mountain. EV> But that is normal weather for Ky and others who live there. Mountains often retain snow, even in the summer, especially in those regions... ;) EV> Last week the temp. here got pretty hot. EV> I told someone that was just a preview of what it will be in August. We've been having uncommonly hot/humid temps.... not at all typical to get heat indexes in the 100s around here, bad enough when we get the heat indexes in the mid-90s here (generally in August as you mention)... At least that only lasted for a couple of days, and then we had a perfectly lovely day where the temps stayed in the 70s and we could open up and cool the house down... But some people are never satisfied, they were complaining about the cold that day... ;) ttyl neb ....
