Default what happened to summer?

Is it just me, or does it feel like this past summer and fall has flown bye?

This year, I think summer was the 3rd week in July. And maybe the following Monday.

Yeah but it was nice weather maybe not real hot but lots of stretches of nice weather to enjoy without lots of rain.

Default Enjoy it!

One thing I have noticed as I get older: Every year, summer included, goes by faster than the previous year.

So, resolve to have more fun, spend more time with the people who are important to you, and spend more time doing the things you enjoy.

I've had this discussion with several friends, as I also thing this was a sub-par, short summer. But as with many things, your perspective has a lot to do with it.

Mine was as a full-time, lake resident who had been here all of the previous, hard, cold winter.

May and June were unusually cool and rainy. For many (including me), unofficial summer starts on Memorial Day weekend. But I was still starting fires in my woodstove in mid-June this year. So it already started out a month late.

Then we had a very wet July (recall that July 4th weekend was a washout). Yes, much of the rain was in a few, heavy storms. But what seemed to be the difference was location. The weather line hovered somewhere from the VT-NH-MA corners, through Concord, and onto the Lakes Region. North of this line was often cool, cloudy, and rainy. South was sunny, warm/hot, and normal. So for those to the south of the line most of the week, it seemed a normal, hot summer.

August was nice, but we had many nights when the temps dropped to the low 50's, sometimes 40's, and even a few high-30's. This as opposed to past years when many an night was spent cruising the lake in the boat to keep cool.

Couple all of this with fact that we never had even one, official heatwave this summer (3 or more consecutive, 90+days), and it did indeed seem to be a short, cool summer at the lake.

A very nice summary! Thanks

Default we are full time lake residents as well

so maybe it was the long long long winter. I was feeling like I was still living in Alaska last winter, and I swore I wouldn't live there again LOL. Glad to hear it wasn't just me. Now lets hope that this winter isn't as long as last. On the upside at least we haven't gotten snow yet :-) Anchorage had there first snowfall yesterday :-)
