Heat Wave!

Post by Paul Ont » Tue May 25, 2010 2:56 pm

This will be day #2 above 85f, which makes it an all-time record high... It's supposed to warm to above 90f for the next couple days before we get some relief (highs in the uppers 70's fahrenheit) by the weekend. What a roller-coaster!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Man Aaron that's CRAZY! So when are you packing it up and heading south :lol: ?

Been pretty warm here too all my plants are growing insane!

Paul,
It's been so Warm here my Rhodie is wilting and the flowers are too. Don't worry I watered it extra and it perked right back up!
I plan on planting the long leaf rhodie this year so if you can tell me some good ones It might be a good experiment for you.
By the way thanks for the tip on the Western Hemisphere rhodies! You must have missed the part where I said they look like the
mountain rhodies from the Carolina's. Guess you would have to see them in person to know what I'm talking about 8)

It hit 30 C here yesterday :D . It's not too often that Nova Scotia even reaches 30 C, let alone this early in the summer.

cool, wet summer?!?

Post by TerdalFarm » Tue May 25, 2010 8:54 pm

I'm enjoying it!
Believe it of not, we disconnected our AC a couple of years ago. We found it encouraged us to spend summers indoors. And it was expensive. Thus, when it gets hot, we stay outside and jump in the pool. (First swim tomorrow!).
I saw today that the National Weather Service is predicting that Jim and I will have a cooler and wetter than usual summer:

We'll see. For now I am loving it.
