It's been creeping up for awhile, cooler nights, leaves starting to turn, but Sun. turned out to be the real deal.We had our first frost, think it got down to 31° F, then we had brilliant sunshine in the afternoon to highlight the fall colors.
Spent most of the day running the backhoe. Did a small job for the neighbor, then redug some of the drainage ditches next to the road, finally dug out the approach to the old garage, buried some large rock to improve drainage, then covered it with geo-fabric and crushed rock. Today's project is to dig out the old stair posts that have been jacking out and replace'em with concrete block. Gotta get'em all done before the snow flies!
Here's the August weather summary from the NWS...
The average temperature for Fairbanks this August was 59.7° which was 3.6° above normal, making it the first month this summer with above normal temps. The highest was 79° on the first, the lowest, 44° on the 14th and 30th. Precipitation was 2.12" for the month, which was 0.24" above normal.
Had a nice run of sunny, warm days in mid-month and rain was not so much of an issue like last month. Hoping for the same in Sept!
