Hi,
LOOKS LIKE INDIAN SUMMER IS FINALLY
COMING TO NEWAYGO COUNTY!
I have to admit it. I'm a weather junkie. When I was ten years old my mother told all
her friends "You know I can't keep a thermometer in the house! Tommy always seems to grab it and then, of
course, he loses or breaks it!" Another
hint about my weather interest is that the first book I had published was
"Unique Electronic Weather Projects." If you want to see the cover of the book,
follow this Amazon link. By the way, since the book is no longer published, I
don't get any money from the book so this isn't a plug and is just for interest
sake.
Well here's what I'm getting
at: I recently noticed big changes in weather patterns as well as NOAA's long
range forecasts. It seems NOAA
forecasters are as sure as they can be that from Saturday November 6 to about
the start of rifle deer season (November 15) it is going to be unseasonably
warm. While they are not as sure about
the rainfall, it looks like it won't be excessively wet like October has
been. I will be positive and state it
will be Indian Summer. Apparently there
are two things going on. First there is
going to be one humdinger of an intense storm that will hit western Canada in
central and northern British Columbia the next few days and second, El Nino (a
weather condition instigated by warmer than normal equatorial Pacific surface
waters) has very recently taken a jump into being really significant - over 5F
above normal. The fact that the sun's
solar flux is going up again may mean something in the longer time period
too.
What does all this mean to
Magicland Farms? Well, it looks more and
more likely that we will be able to meet our goal of staying open until the day
before Thanksgiving. That means our last
day will be November 25. Of course with
this optimistic prediction, I must mention that Accuweather is forecasting a
cold spell during the time period starting on November 17. If there are any changes to my prediction of
being open until November 25 we will send out another newsletter.
Thanks for taking the time
and effort to read my little note.
Nashle!
