I just thought I would point out - as a matter of curiosity - that here we are, at the end of July, about to go into August, and the temperature at my house (in upstate New York) is at present 51° F.
When I was growing up in this same neck of the woods, we would typically have a week or so of temperatures above 90° right about now, and a few times would go over 100°, at least for a day or two.
Also interesting to note that - at this very moment - "AccuWeather" is saying that the temperature at my house is 69° F, a full eighteen degrees hotter than the actual temperature.
It was 59F in our old town of Port Jervis, NY. A bit cool for this time of year. It’s not uncommon for the temps to get up in the low 90’s there in July and August.
Seneca Lake Water Quality Buoy reports current water temperature is 69.8°.
That may be keeping you warm. Especially if you are on the East side of the lake.
The book is actually two books in one, and if there is a connection between the two, the author leaves that connection somewhat obscure.
The Famine part of the book is about what happened to agriculture, and subsequently to the entire economy and population, of England and Western Europe following the end of the Medieval Warm Period. During the MWP, people moved into lands that were previously too cold for agriculture. They cut down forests and farmed the land. When the climate turned cold, they starved on a massive scale. Crops failed, herds died, and then the people died. It didn't happen all at once; it was a slow-motion disaster.
Once the warmists are proven wrong, we may find ourselves in the same situation as did the Brits, French, etc. who found their lands no longer could support the numbers of people who lived there during the MWP.
The second book, written to intertwine with the part about famine, is a history of the civil wars and the politics of the royal families of the time. It's not clear to me whether the author intended to blame the wars on the changed climate. If he did, he never really says so. The political history is somewhat interesting, but I bought the book for the story of the famine. I ignored the rest.

Chiggers?!
You sir are obviously etomophobic! Your lousy attitude really bugs me. Your anthropomorphic superiority really bites (and stings those of us from Virginia). Buzz off;)
Hey pardner...Western PA here.. Woke up to 55 in the house this a.m., Wore a light leather jacket into work this a.m.
I should be in shorts and a tank top about now. To be honest, I am worried about what winter is going to bring this year. Does a low temp summer trend a deep freeze winter or a mild winter? I just can’t tell.
You’re in Seneca? You are basically up the road from me. I am in Mars; well, outside it anyway.
I wish my parents had known about Calagel back in 1961. Can I get an Amen.
that's it exactly, cooler in summer and warmer in winter... where did you get the buoy data???
i thank you Sir...
Combined with the article below, which discusses a power shortage in the northeastern part of the country, it paints a frightening picture of winter for a LOT of Americans. http://spectator.org/articles/60007/get-ready-new-england-power-shortage
You lucky sled dog! The sun has set here and it is still 91F right now. Well, at least it is not humid. I was in Houston last week-—500 miles east-— and it was utterly miserable to me.
I’m about fifty miles northeast of you. Well, that is, if you’re at the North-South halfway point on the lake.
I’ve been to Finger Lakes National Forest, which - at 16,259 acres - is one of the smallest national forests.
Which is actually about thirty-five miles from me.
You might be a tad bit chilly this winter then. I will wish warm thoughts for you as it approaches.
We are supposed to have colder than average, with some extra snow, so we’ll see. We barely saw it last winter, so who knows.
it is ~3 miles from my house, it's also the only NatFor in the state... and i've walked damn near every inch of it one time or another over the years
Due to the ice cover last winter, the lakes have not had much time to store energy from the sun this summer. It doesn't look like it will completely recover from last winter. They may freeze over faster this winter, and freeze completely. This may aid a colder great lakes winter, and will certainly cut off lake effect snows.
Thanks! I'm used to it. The cold is just a nuisance, and - as they saying goes - it keeps the riffraff out.
