We really didn’t have a spring. Had the heat on at times into June. It snowed on April 16th. The ice on the lakes was an average of two feet thick this past winter. Haven’t seen that since the late 70’s. As a plumber, I saw plumbing lines freeze this passed winter that I never did before since I started in the field 25 years ago. We used an extra tankful of fuel oil this winter due to the cold.
Nights here during practically all summer have never gone above the mid 70’s and are usually in the low 60’s. Typically now they are in the 80’s at night.
This is 60 miles north of NYC.
80s at night? It isn’t that warm at night here in SE Texas even yet.
We have “cool” mornings for here still in mid-July.
We are at about 2/3 of normal for rain. People think it is raining more than usual since the drought has been so long and so deep their point of reference has changed.
Deer had not come into my yard to feed for 20 years but the long winter drove them in here. Don’t the GW advocates always use observations like that to “prove” their theory?
This is the first summer in 20 years that I haven’t put the air conditioner in my upstairs bedroom. It is the coolest CT summer I can remember.
