My daughter asked this question...

[butterfly77]

she really didn't ask it as a question but she said " she is waiting to see if it begins to snow in July or August and then she really will begin to be afraid. She says that she expects it to happen in the very near future with the way the weather has been going. What do you think?

1. Do you live in the southern hemisphere?

2. There's a little snow in July and August every year...

...on Katahdin in Maine and Washington in New Hampshire.

5. My aunt got caught in a sudden snow storm in July

on the Wind River Reservation about 15 years ago. It was up in the mountains. Her car went off the road and ended up balanced on a guide wire.

3. Where do you live?

I'd suspect that we'd have hotter and longer summers. At least that's how it seems to be trending around here (NE Kansas). As it is now, summers seem to start earlier and end later. We get a month or a month and a half of fall and spring weather a year. Winter begins in January or February and doesn't last very long.

The one thing each season has in common is the intensity of the weather. When it rains, it is like monsoon season. When it snows, we no longer get dustings, we get dumped on. When it is hot, it is searing hot. And when it is cold it is artic cold.

4. I have seen snow in August when I was younger, I recall August

having freezes as well in the New England states.....miss those cold spells.

6. I've been through July and August snows:

On Trail Ridge Road in the Rockies, and on CA SH 120 in the Sierras.

7. Depends on where you are....

Here in Colorado, it has snowed on every day of the year at least once in the past century. With climate change trends, and the possibility that the thermohaline cycle might be disrupted, it is possible that the East Coast would see some off-season chilling.

However, the bigger worry everywhere is not cold - we know how to mitigate cold. The big worry everywhere is heat, drought and flooding.
