Starting snowing yesterday and is coming down pretty good today.
I'm glad I held off with planting sweet corn. The soil is still in the 50s and the seed would probably just rot.
When I first came here in 1979, I moved into my house on July 1st and found out the water-line was still frozen almost four-feet down. Grass was green, leaves on trees, frogs barking and birds chirping. The frost in July was a suprise, but the house had been empty for years (no moving water).
Second year I lived at this location, in 1980, we has frost every month, including two days in August. It got blamed on the volanic eruption at Mount Saint Helens. Do you call that a "late Spring frost" or an "early Fall frost?"
