Summer Has Arrived In Appalachia

Solstice

The Summer Solstice was on June 20th. For several days before and after, the Sun seems to stand still. The longest day and the shortest night of the year occur on the Summer Solstice. This is sometimes called Midsummer since it is roughly in the middle of the growing season.

For most folks in Southern Appalachia this is the time of year when intense heat begins bringing high temperatures and high humidity.

You know:

Oven

                       Hot as an Oven

     Firecracker

                       Hot as 4th of July

                      Hot as a Firecracker

Hades

                       Hotter than Hell

                     Hotter than 40 Hells

                 Hotter than the Hinges of Hell

Frying_pan

                    Hot as a Frying Pan

Pistol

                 Hotter than a 2 Dollar Pistol

So how hot is it at your house? And what do you do to cool down?
