It's official...this weather is just weird! (Chubbuck: pictures, summer)

Got one up on Mother Nature, got both lawns mowed this morning before work

It has been very wet this season. Just got back from camping outside of McCall.....the rivers are cranking like you wouldn't believe. We got woken up several times in the night by the increasing waterfall flows. Even though it wasn't raining at the time of being woken up, somewhere else up on the mountain it sure was, as you could hear the water flows increasing and then decreasing. I've never seen it so green up there as it's been this year. Absolutely beautiful! There was still snow in our campground!

I sure could get use to this "global warming" we're all experiencing! lol

Be prepared for snow. Mowed both lawns before work and washed the car after work

I saw a view today one could only expect perhaps in Hawaii. Driving southbound on I-15 between Blackfoot and Fort Hall this late afternoon in the midst of a heavy rain squall, in the distance the now lush green foothills of Pocatello were bathed in sunshine. Absolutely beautiful, wish I had my camera.

No! Won't that kill all the seedlings popping up?

[pw72]

It might kill all the mosquitoes though.

If it snows any time soon I shall have one crazy young lady on my hands since she's having an outside wedding!

More flooding south of Pocatello yesterday, (Inkom), in additon to last weeks flooding in the Portneuf area.

I swear, tonight has got to be about the 30th night of thunderstorms in the past 40 days in Pocatello. I have been through three early summer seasons in this area now, and this, by far, is the wettest and stormiest. And by far, I mean, BY FAR! The other two were desert-like compared to this year. I still would like to know what is normal? Is this season more normal, or the last two? And more to come as we enter the monsoon season from the south in the next few weeks...

(When I lived in Florida, you could count on a daily thunderstorm...I'm beginning to think the same is true in SE Idaho. And BTW, anyone notice how green everything still is in July? A little weird to be sure.)

It's not just Idaho. Every day in June was below normal in Los Angeles. Detroit and Chicago were not expected to hit 60 degrees yesterday for July 4th. Chicago had its coldest May on record.

None of this is getting as much press as it would if the weather was unusually hot.

Back when we first moved here in the early 90's, thunderstorms seemed to be a bit of the norm. it was never too surprising to be at one of my nephew's games and then have to hold things up until the storm passed.

One Valentine's Day, odd time of the year, we even had a twister touch down!

Yes, the green is awesome to see. Let's hope it holds up or we could be in for quite the fire season!
