It’s warm and dry in the plains states this year. A few degrees cooler and a lot more rain this summer would do us some good.

Living in rural Alaska, you become accustomed to occasional summer frosts in Late July; happens every 4th or 5th year, but hasn't occurred for 7 years or so. In fact last summer frost was the year we had huge burns all over Alaska, so much smoke; cooled everything off; one night late July went down to 10 degrees. I lived off small taters that year, ate more rice I had stored up.

Everybody should have some long term food storage and a garden they can live outta of if they had to.

One thing for sure when we have summer frosts, the bugs all die early and the moose are more active; some good outcomes to a cold summer.

This will be interesting.

The Old Farmers Almanac is calling for a warmer drier summer here in the northern midwest, after beating the .gov climate folks this past winter.

OFA called for a bitterly cold winter, and the .gov folks said it would be a warmer winter.

Now, we will see what summer brings, and who is better at reading the entrails.
