Re: More Weather

It has been a weird spring here too Jim. We haven't hit 80 degrees in over a week. Very strange. We were all freaked out at the beginning of May when it was 104 degrees, but that went away and early spring came back. We have plenty of cherries here.

I don't know what's with the weather here, either. And while I have no experience with it, when I match what's been going on since I got here with historical data, I have to conclude that somehow we got stuck in April. Except for one blip in mid-May, when it got up to 80+ one day, the temps have consistently been no higher than low-to-mid 60s. We should be in the mid 70s by now.
This is a big cherry-growing area [Salem bills itself as "Cherry City"] and I have no idea what effect this odd weather will have on the year's crop. When my sister's tree bloomed, she says, there were zero bees around--too cold. I set no fruit that I can see. A tree in the park across the street, however, that bloomed later, has quite a few fruits.

So right after I made the comment about the winds improving, we got a
warning through email about winds next week. Gusts to 60mph on Wednesday
are expected. Great.

I hope everyone comes through it okay.
Here it is mid-eighties, going to stay that way all week, but still
windy...although we've improved some, now the wind is only 25mph instead
of 35.
Cherries are ripening at the u-pick places and I'll be getting myself a
big bag o' Bings next weekend. I am going to make cherry-raspberry jam,
maybe something else if I get inspired.

You and me both Zem.  Rain, I can deal with - most of the time.  But the
winds, hail and tornados in our state are getting old.  What limbs
DIDN'T fall
during that winter ice storm, fell yesterday morning when we had strong
winds
and heavy rainfall.  We are going to go from winter, nothing but rain
and
storms, to the dog days of summer.  The humidity here is HORRIBLE and my
poor
llamas are suffering.  We can't sheer them until they dry out some...and
they
can't dry OUT until we have a few days of no rain and thunderstorms.
DOH!!!!!

Weatherbug just piped up to let me know we are
under yet another severe
thunderstorm watch until 10:00 p.m.  This includes
the possibility of 70 mph
winds and 2.5" hail.  I am so sick of being stuck in
our current weather
cycle.  I don't mind that we are ahead of our normal rain
fall, but I could
surely do without the storms.
