"We aint got nottin but Radishes in the Garden." Mammy, Gone with the Wind.
This describes my garden. Taint nothing but radishes. Sunday was darkest June day in Seattle in 15 years. Gardens just don't grow when the sun won't shine. I hate to continually complain about the weather, but...
"Seattle is on a stretch of 271 days and counting without reaching 75 degrees, said Dennis D'Amico, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. The previous record was 254 days.
"We have crushed that," Mass said, adding it's likely temperatures won't reach 75 until July.
It's not just that it's not warm — it's been far colder than June's usual high of 70.
At 56 degrees, Sunday's high was just 1 degree above the lowest high ever recorded at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on a June 20."
271 days :(
Just for the preservation of facts for my posterity, when living in Pennsylvania, a record was set for 28 days where the temperature never raised above freezing. After one day of tropical temperatures of 33 degrees, the record was set again when for the next 29 days, the temperature did not raise above freezing.
So, let it be known, your regions best cure for global warming is to invite the Ellis' to live there for a while.
MOVE HERE! Sheesh, I have sunshine coming out my bum! Too much sunshine if you ask me. Lets have a swap. Brian you can go to work at the hospital for John and he'll go to the office for you. You'll both probably end up fired, but it'd be a neat social experiment as well as a change of weather for us all. :)
