They show yellow and red leaves already mixing in with the trees’ green leaves.Bowman says it is odd to see the golden yellow and red leaves already showing up.The Polar Vortex pattern that we saw in January, also caused cold temperatures in July.“There has been a frequency of cold fronts this summer, and the weather for June, July, and August has been substantially below normal,” Bowman said.http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/08/15/experts-cold-summer-leads-to-changing-leaves-in-august/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODYQX4 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Last summer was way too hot. I am really enjoying this summer and the cooler than average temps.But next winter will probably make us all want to kill ourselves. Had to have been the worst winter I remember last year.
