..it's been cool up here.....?....last year by this time we'd had a big string of 70's - 80's....only had two 80's, so far....and that was just recently....with the El Nino waning, I'm hoping for a bit of a cooler summer......the coming La Nina will add a cooler spell also.....but on the grand scale of things....it's definitely warmer than past years that I remember.....plus it seems the spring and fall seasons are shorter too....or is it just me that notices??

I heard something on the radio today about how it is the winters have been less cold than the summer more warm.
