It’s true when they say that summer doesn’t start around here until after the 4th of July. Well it’s July 6th and summer is here. Right on time.
The 5-day forecast from King5.com
Cliff Mass explains why there is a sudden shift in the weather pattern, “Two reasons: high pressure aloft is producing general sinking and warming of air (by compression) is the first. And there is easterly flow developing over the Cascades, which produces enhanced sinking (warming) on the western slopes.” You can read his entire explanation, complete with maps highlighting the weather over the next few days, on his blog.

A mere 4 day’s difference between complaining about the cold and complaining about the heat.
No complaints here. Bring on the heat!
Wow! I’m glad I’m lagering the beer I brewed yesterday. If it were an ale, there wouldn’t be anywhere in my house cool enough to ferment it properly.
I’m not sure what that bright light up in the sky is, but I like it!
Gurple, I tried an ale last week, but the cold killed it as it was too hot in my apartment and too cold in the garage, then we hit the crappy weather. Frustrating. Im done brewing til late which saddens me.
