Cool Summer Cuts Chlorine Costs - With pool water temperatures running
about 5 degrees cooler than normal this summer, pool owners in the

“Heat breaks down chlorine more quickly, which in turn requires more
chlorine to replace what is lost,” says AccuWeather.com’s Gina

Fresh snow on Mount Redoubt in Alaska – right on the Solstice no less!
Email from meteorologist:
“I do not know if snow in mid-June on Mount Redoubt is ‘normal’ or
not,” says meteorologist George Harvey. “To me, though, it flies in
the face of ‘Global Warming.’”
George Harvey
Senior Meteorologist
www.impactweather.com
See webcam picture here:
http://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Redoubt_-_DFR.php
Jun 23 - A follow-up email from George:
Anecdotal evidence suggests summertime “snow caps” on Mt Redoubt are
not uncommon. Looking at pictures archived on the Alaska Volcano
Observatory site show that during past eruptive period (1989-90)
showed snow on the summit during July and August of 1990.
This suggests that snowfall like this does occur at any time of the
year.

Twelve inches of rain in one day in North Dakota - Bismarck, ND - A
video on weather.com interviews a farmer who measured 12 inches of
rain in 24 hours on his farm. His neighbor’s rain gauges are only 6”
high and they overflowed. Yet the official reports say only this:
The National Weather Service said its reports ranged from 5.6 inches
at the Bismarck airport since Monday to more than 7 inches east of the
city with about an inch falling in an hour Tuesday afternoon.
“Now, 12” of rain would = 120” of snow = 10 FEET of snow!!!!” says
reader Stephanie Relfe. “Remember, North Dakota was where they had
some of the major snow storms.”

Bulldozing Hail in New Jersey – It looked as if a blizzard blew

“Plowing snow, ice, whatever you want to call it on a street in

Florida colder than normal
Email from reader
Hi Robert,
I don't have actual statistics, but we've been going to the beach the
last week (Palm Coast Florida) and we can't remember it every being
cold like this. When a cold wind blows, which it is usually, and the
clouds are over, which they are mostly, it's almost cold enough for a
light sweater. And this is FLORIDA in June (admittedly, North Florida
- but it is normally VERY hot by now)!!! The water is also
unseasonably cold. One is chattering after an hour's swim, even at
the hottest part of the day. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Year Without a Summer? - According to Long Range Expert Joe Bastardi,
areas from the northern Plains into the Northeast will have a "year
without a summer." The jet stream, which is suppressed abnormally
south this spring, is also suppressing the number of thunderstorms
that can form. The ones that do form in areas of the Ohio Valley and
West are forming in places with very cold temperatures, which can lead
to more electrified thunderstorms than normal this year."
