This morning I caught a short bit on a record 56 consecutive days in New York City of the temperature staying below 85 degrees in May/June/July. A Minnesotan ponders a year without a summer. (Via Instapundit) A few weeks ago, in South Bend, IN, I camped while my son attended football camp, it had been so cool I was forced to buy an extra blanket for sleeping and left wishing I had brought a jacket. (My two trips to Tennessee have been typically hot, comparatively at least.)

Curious, I went to the Nation Weather Service site to check out Cincinnati temperatures. This years summer hasn't felt particularly hot to me, but, as a native Southerner, Ohio weather rarely feels too hot for me. June, 2009 looks like a pretty typical month temperature wise. Ten days of below average temperatures, 2 of average and the rest above with a couple significantly above. July's temperatures surprised me.

Every day temperatures are below average except for three average days. Two days 10 degrees below the averge, one day 9 below and anther 8 below. Brrr! These temperatures have made July quite pleasant for outdoor activities, but I'm beginning to worry about another Ice Age.
