One more stat, this from Mt Washington. The average daily temperature was at or below normal for the first 16 days of July. Through yesterday (19 July), only two days were above normal -- and only by 1 degree each day. Mt. Washington has also received 8.18 inches of rain through 18 July -- 0.16 more than average for the entire month. Yes, it's been cold and wet this summer.
Predictions - As a sidenote: The President said, on Jan. 17, 2008, that electricity costs would "
necessarily skyrocket" as a result of capping emissions levels to combat global warming, and that his job as president would be to convince the public and Congress that
benefits outweigh costs. This means, of course, that we don't have to worry about Global Warming anymore.
