    MH@> I have really been enjoying this early fall weather we have been having   
    MH@> for the majority of August, here in Maryland.   
    MH@> For the most part, this has been a cool summer.  The exception being a   
    MH@> few weeks in July when it was in the upper 90s and humid.   
       
    DS> It looks like summer will get a late start in Arkansas...at least   
    DS> for a little bit...with heat advisories possible by late week. Some of   
    DS> the trees have already starting turning with the leaves (the first part   
    DS> of August in much of north Arkansas had excessive rainfall), but the   
    DS> daylight hours are getting shorter. The autumnal equinox is now less   
    DS> than a month away.    
      
   Yeah... we've been having some of the earlier trees dropping leaves   
   already...  pretty normal, though, for late August here in upstate NY...    
      
    MH@> Just hoping that we get some snow this winter.  Last winter was   
    MH@> non-existant and don't want another one like that.  Especially since I   
    MH@> just got the truck's transmission rebuilt and it is ready for some   
    MH@> 4x4'n.  :)   
      
    DS> The snow that fell across Arkansas last Christmas...and especially   
    DS> in the Little Rock area...was the first time the area had seen snow on   
    DS> Christmas in 86 years. Plus, central Arkansas usually gets ice storms   
    DS> when it comes to winter weather.   
      
   So, are you hoping for snow on Christmas again...?  ;)
