In Virginia....July was milder than normal. August has been hot. We need rain, though.
We can always blame global climate change!

I tell you, it's not too often having what we did. We did hit the century mark, but also had like 35 days of no rain (Not the record though) but nah, unless that 7" of snow is included. That was a bit "Unusual" as we don't get that much. I can count on one hand the snowfalls we've had of more then 5" in the past 30 years. Now if you're talking ice, that might be a bit different  (I think it was 2002 we had 6" in places and EVERYTHING shut down for an entire week. Took the post office a month to catch up with the backlog)

We live in New England, and I am used to Mother Natures Wrath. I actually like that aspect of my part of the country. You can always expect something unexpected. From a major storm blowing in, to a hurricane. Yesterday I sat at the beach all day, and watched the waves crash in from hurricane Dan. No Perfect Storm here, but a little destruction. It was cold and raw for a day in August, and a day at the beach, but it was also kind of nice watching the huge waves, and smelling the salty air. A little bit of bad weather is kind of exciting around here. But it definately got way out of hand this summer. It rained more days than I have seen in the last 20 years. It killed most of our tomatoes, bad year for tomatoe crops they like it dry. It spread some kind of virus around most of the area. It went by very quick..

Hi Nal,
My maters didnt do too bad this year....but i must admit i didn't have a bumper crop either!
The main reason i like to plant tomatoes is for fried green tomatoes. I made them last Sunday and they were a hit! I guess i was alittle bit Schwandaaaaaaaaa.....wink!
