Hail! (Insert Title Filler Here)

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Well I didn't expect that storm.

It was like baseballs hitting the windows! Horrible storm. Tree limbs down everywhere (including on my tomatoes), etc. The good? Well, (actually this is quite amazing), the outer leaves of my cabbages broke and drooped over the heart leaves, so they are ALIVE. How amazing. It's far too late to start plants here so I am thankful.

Everything else is shredded, but will survive.

The benefit of this all? It dropped us from 83 F to 66 F this morning. This completely unexpected cold front will put us in the 80's (only two days around 90) for mostly the entire week, low 80's by next weekend. Wow!

I guess it's always a surprise living here ha.

We didn't get hail, or any rain, either, but it has cooled down for us. Glad your garden escaped from getting killed out. You have had a difficult summer but you still have your sense of humor. Keep on keepin' on...

To be honest I've been shivering a bit every morning now. 64 F low feels cold after a month of heat!!

Oh my, it's 70 here....geez. How can you be so much cooler Jacob?

And shivering? I wear my shorts till it gets below a high of 50s every day. (I have been North at some points in my life)

Dbarron, after weeks of lows around 80 it felt a little cold hahahaha. I'm not a baby!! (Maybe..)

Where are you at? Arkansas climate varies significantly it seems. We're 10-20 degrees cooler than even Little Rock up in the northwestern part (with higher elevation) most of the time. Depends. Our weather is more alongside Missouri's. My grandparents live in south Central MO, and our weather is almost always right on track with theirs. Odd isn't it?
