Record Report
Statement as of 4:30 am CDT on July 4, 2008
... Record cold high temperature in Springfield on July 3...
The high temperature in Springfield yesterday was only 69 degrees. This is the coldest high temperature on record for July 3. The old record of 70 degrees was set in 1892.
The normal high temperature for the date is 86 degrees.
Another pleasant day today.
It’s that lousy Smarch weather....
None of this matters. Al Gore has weighed in, and said the debate about global warming is over.
I have to laugh because Al Gore says that global warming is a “moral issue”. And him declaring it a “moral issue” is supposed to prompt us to action. But on other issues, liberals accuse people of imposing morality, such as with abortion and homosexual marriage. So, what are the rules? Can we invoke morality for liberal causes, but not for conservative ideas? Is that where Al is going with this?
At least there is some corn. Much of Wisconsin and Iowa’s corn crop was severely damaged by flooding.
OTOH, 70 degrees on July 4 is far superior to 95 and humid.
Global warming pfffffft.
I thought the corn was as high as an elephant’s eye by the fourth of July.
AlGore is the chairman of the 'Holy Church of HotAir.' Hey, AlGore, GW is a "moral issue", how about abortion??
As somebody said on another forum the other day:
"That's great....for 1942."
Not this year. May was cold & wet so the farmers could not get their corn planted. That which was planted early didn’t grow because it was too cold.
Unless there is an early frost, it should still do ok. The kids doing the detasseling will be working into August this year & probably have a conflict with band camp.
