Howdy,

Yikes ..... summer just didn't seem long enough. Last evening temp got down 
to 3.8C and the Canada geese are on the move. We've had a REALLY damp summer 
so maybe the fall colors will give us some extra eye candy.

Spring is in the air, and the weather has been so erratic over the last few 
days. It's as if it can't make up it's mind to be summer-like or 
winter-like.
Yesterday and today are winter like. Wed last week was scorchingly hot.

just about everyone i've talked to has been experiencing weather extremes 
.... went from shorts and sandals to jeans and a hoody literally overnight. 
It was like flipping a light switch

For some reason, when I read this I immediately thought about how one 
year all my classmate's voices suddenly couldn't make up their minds 
whether they were boys or men. I *really* hope I'm not te only person 
who thought this... o_O

I'm in the other side of the world (southern hemisphere), and I have
experienced strange weather.

Last year, in snowed in the middle of winter (for a single day). The
previous snow here was 50 years ago.

This year... It wasn't as cold as it should be, but just a week ago it felt
like winter had just STARTED (it should be ENDING in a few days).

You get extra fall colors from lots of sugar (glucose, really) in the 
leaves just as they die for the winter.  You get lots of glucose in the 
leaves from lots of sunlight.

If it's not sunny when the leaves start their annual change, they won't 
be too colorful.

Regards,
John

It snowed in Johannesburg last year. First time since 1981
