Edmunds County Tribune -

Last Saturday was a great day to stay in Ipswich and stay close to an air conditioner.

Like Saturday, I'm seeing things weatherwise from time to time that kinda makes you wonder. The climate does seem to be gyrating out of control, giving us wild temperature and precipitation swings, especially for those who live along waterways from a tiny creek to an ocean. Too much of this and not enough of that, bringing either widespread flooding in areas that had never seen that extent or tinder-dry drought conditions.

We'll see what the weatherman has in store for this upcoming Fourth of July weekend and all of its area events. The weather might even go to the other extreme, bringing us an early hint of the upcoming fall. Whatever the case, have a Happy (and Enjoyable) Fourth of July.
