Glad to hear someone else, "is winter coming early". We have been discussing this issue for the last couple of weeks. Been having problems with the garden, that we have never experienced before. Was talking to the man at the Co-op and he told us of some stuff, that didn't make sense, but is factual. The grass here, is already starting to go to seed, normally we don't see that till August/Sept time frame.

i was thinking more in the lines of a slightly more elongated orbit around the sun or perhaps a slight change in the axis of rotation of the earth. i have noticed displaced seasons for many years now. some times it averages itself but often they seem advanced or retarded by two weeks.

It is nice and hot out here but~~~better get out those snow tires just in case. This Summer doesn't seem much different to me. I think from the storms the air pressure might be different and thats why the birds are flying lower. We'll have to wait and see tho. Could fool us with a nice short Winter this year. I hope!

Mine are too. It's weird.

I found a post about this very topic that said farmers are urged to get their crops in early because it is going to be a short fall and an early winter. Early, but over early in 07' as well, Feb and March will be warm early and then the summer of 2007 was supposed to be very long. (ick).
I was going to post today and ask if anyone else had heard about this and then ran across this post. This weather pattern has to do with some lunar alignments. I don't know much about that but I know that those things do affect the weather patterns.
Right now with these temps an early winter sounds pretty good to me....(okay, after I harverst the garden

)
