[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5595957, member: 58386"] Here in the Mid Atlantic region, last winter we had zero snow. And only 2 or 3 days of traditional winter temperatures. In addition we are clearly headed for a third consecutive dry summer. Problem with that is that portions of the Upper Great Plains are becoming so dry that they are not expected to be ag commodity production areas for much longer. As a result the Mid Atlantic region is being looked to for making up for the lost production in that area but I don' see how. Fortunately for me there's a year round flowing spring where I can get garden water but you have to get there early before the tankers so from as far as 30 miles away start lining up. The neighbors are all asking if I'll have extra for them this summer. I told them that if they're willing to cook with raw agricultural produce which requires a lot more work I'll plant extra that they can have free of charge. Trouble is these clear dry low humidity nights are creating late spring frosts and things like onion sets and seed potatoes are getting hard to find. No question the nation in many different ways is changing and evolving. [/QUOTE]
