Unusual Weather
Yesterday, Friday, July 6, our area set a new record for the high temperature.
Officially, the high temperature was 104 degrees.
These are 'unofficial' temperatures.
The electricity had been off for two hours.... it came back on about 5:15.
Kroger stores in the area are dimming the lights by 33% while the unseasonable temperatures continue.
Temperatures remain 20 degrees above 'normal' for this time of the year.
Not to mention that we are 4 1/2 inches below the normal amount of rain for this time of the year...
Local farmers reported that their corn tasseled out on June 23, the earliest in memory.
