Edmunds County Tribune -

Our area just emerged from a wet period that in some instances included too much hail. Yes, last week everyone seemed to receive ample moisture in varying amounts. Right here in Ipswich we recorded around an inch and a half in my two gauges. One is in millimeters and another inches and millimeters so I averaged them out and they indeed seemed real close to the actual official measurements.

But with climate change, everything seems to go from one extreme to the other, so I wouldn't be surprised if this week would be quite dry. After all we are now probably in the dog days of summer whatever that old expression means.

Some summer activities are already drawing to a close and you've probably noticed at least one back to school ad in the media or in the stores.

Time indeed does truly fly, especially in the summer.
