LABORING
DAY:
Seasonable in temperature with loads of sunshine for the Northfield Labor Day
parade,
skies to become more cloudy this
afternoon with an isolated shower.
Watch
the fire hazard this Labor Day for
cooking out of doors. Conditions
are very dry, some leaves have begun to fall for fuel, many shallow soils were
bone dry with dead grass. Water your gardens because rainfall will be limited
next several days if not into most of the Fall, and likely not enough to penetrate
deeply into the soils.
Remembering
Russia earlier this summer?
This current dry spell could mess
up the Fall foliage season, and present western wild fire-like conditions. We
have had massive forest fires in the past and it could happen again especially
with climate change issues and weird weather patterns.
