If you farm or garden, your eyes are often on the skies. Extreme weather events seem to be all over the news these days, and you may have even experienced extreme or unusual weather on your property. Is it 'hype', or is there really something going on? In this session, we will review this spring and summer's weather conditions, discuss some high-impact weather events which may have impacted our area, and learn how these events 'fit in' to what we know about how the Earth's climate is changing. In the future, we will discuss how to observe and learn about the weather in your own backyard so that you can track short- and long-term changes in your specific location.

If you farm or garden, your eyes are often on the skies. Simple events such as a warm spring, late frost, drought, or early season snowfall can make the difference between a successful year and an unsuccessful one. Observing the weather at your location and studying patterns can help you to identify issues as they are arising and, in some cases, mitigate some of the negative impacts. In this session, we will discuss how to set up a weather station in your backyard and begin taking measurements, as well as how to use that information to understand the climate in your location.
