Snow in June???

[pronghorn]

It's June 6th here in southern North Dakota, spring is starting to turn into summer. Most of the crops have been planted, have sprouted and are well established. The garden is (was) looking great. The lawn has been mowed several times. Rhubarb has already been harvested for delicious rhubarb crisp and sauce. The lilacs, wild plum trees and other early flowers are in full bloom. The pheasant chicks, goose goslings, and baby ducks are awkwardly stumbling or swimming behind the mother birds.

And then global warming rears it's fearsome head and scorches the earth. That's right folks, it snowed here again. 9th straight month it has snowed here. It's 12:00 noon, 33 degrees out, and not forcast to get warmer all day. Normally it would be in the 70's or 80's. I am not sure how wide spread this cold snap is but it could possibly decimate local crops and gardens. It also could decimate the newborn wildlife, hypothermia will surely claim many baby birds. Normally on this weekend I would be splashing on the sunscreen and heading out to the lake to troll for walleye and pike. Now I am wondering if I may have stored the snowmobile a bit too soon. Does anyone want to talk about global warming?

It can snow here on any day up above 9,000 ft., bud. I wonder about that global warming. We now have the pine beetles who have destroyed a million acres of pines here in Colorado. In the past, it got cold enough in the winter to kill them. And of course, God forbid that a wild fire should break out, as we'll put that out right away. However, with all the dead pines, we will one day have a wildfire beyond belief here in Colorado. That might be a good thing.

Cooler than normal too! This year big events around town and 1st time in a long time NO rain but this nice breeze and decent temps are leaving and we will be hit full force with summer!
