...cooler & wetter summers?

Just a casual observation by me, no doubt induced by the current rainy spell.

Looking at the tree top growth of the nearby oaks, birches, & conifers....it sure seems like the summers of 2006 and 2007 were good for growing tree height.

If I remember correctly, the summers of 2006 and 2007 had more cool and wet weather than in previous years. I recall 2006 being like all rainy from May 15 to Aug 15. Last year, 2007, was a bit dryer, but still rainy. Summer 2008 has only just begun so only time will tell for this summer?
