Happy summer solstice!!!

Summer begins today! Hope everyone is enjoying the day. Raining here in the PNW.

Starting tomorrow we will also start losing daylight

Tom, it's not raining in our part of the PNW....yet. Heavy overcast with winds probably in the mid- to upper teens. You can keep your darned rain down in your part of the Columbia, thank you very much.

Last year spring was so hot and dry tens of thousands of hemlock died, as did tons of alder, and the top foot or so of salmonberry and elderberry bushes are also dead.

This years spring; mushrooms in lawns and maple leaves going red.

North Coast 'normal'

Darn you Tom. Tina just went outside to water her plants and came right back in, telling me that it's starting to rain.

Darn you Tom. I thought I asked you to keep the rain on your end of the river.

Now it's starting to rain here. And the winds are picking up. A big raspberry to you!

Frost on the roofs in Whitehorse Yukon often occur in the first week of August. By mid July in Whitehorse, the sky will be dark for 3/4's of the sky and and a almost complete sunset but not quite complete sunset in the other 1/4 of the sky.

And on June 20th (don't know about this year) there is a golf tournament that begins at midnight.

Hardly any last year. Might be grim this year
