Weather in Your Garden # 98

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

We came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1184012/#new

We've been having some pretty bad storms here in our part of the country. Tornados are things most of us have only seen on T.V. ...until now. Hope that all the people can recover and things get better.
Even the critters looked spooked after that last set of storms came through.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

It's 50 now, heading to 67 for a high, partly cloudy skies. Humidity:62 % but best of all.....
Wind:WNW 5 mph ! Yesterday it was only 60 and the wind was brutal, felt more like a fall day !!!

This little guy came up into the mudroom(bri left the door open) and helped himself to some birdfood right out of the bag. It has nuts and pieces of fruit in it. Cherries to be exact and he evidently has a "thing" for cherries!

Perfect day to be weeding in the garden, & I did......

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Went to nearby Agway they were having open house specials, then came back did some work putting some things in bigger pots then started working on the area next to the new gravel driveway. SO glad for that breeze today.

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

Sun was scorching today, deceptive with the breeze which made me feel comfortable and the sun tolerable. People are coming out of the beach looking like ripe tomatoes. Beware of skin cancer I say..

67° on the way to 52 lovely degrees.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

The sun does not cause skin cancer

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

of course not, loose electrons have no effect on DNA and RNA chains..

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

What's RNA stand for?

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

Ribonucleic acid

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

The sun does not cause skin cancer - skin causes it!

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

More so of what you put on your skin is causing it

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Yes - like sunlight. ^_^

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

UGH

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

Then bathe up guys, knock yourselves out!
- try telling that joke to the people in Florida that I've seen with melanoma...

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Where did those people move from? or are they native Floridians? Do they use sunscreen? Do they wear sunglasses when out in the sun? How many hours do they spend in the sun?

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Do you realize that Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington have the highest skin cancer rates in the US?


hmmmm, no southern states listed(unless you count OK as a southern state)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Because people in northern areas overdo it in the sun. People in the south know how dangerous it is.

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

Heat = radiation.
sometimes radiation can be seen sometimes it cant , (with our limited visual spectrum)

Radiation= energized particles, (waves in other scenarios), which bond to other molecules in the body sometimes causing mutations.
Result, = a cell or two which has a mutation reproduces clones of itself within the body, unchecked by white blood cells which find this mutation 'strange' so they are ineffective against the threat.

Abnormal cell mutations = 'cancer'
Powerful chemicals and gamma radiation as well as surgery begins.

- The body begins to fight itself, it betrays itself, hell on earth begins, if you're lucky you neutralize the threat.
if not the threat overwhelms the body and it dies.

- short and not so sweet.

Ps. very fair skinned people in the South are exposed too much too the sun, I had many friends in Florida who knew all about cancers but since they live there... It kinda comes with the territory..

63°

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

There is no doubt sun causes skin cancer in fairer people. So do tanning booths.

South Hamilton, MA

Sun is too darn hot!

Eastern Long Island, NY(Zone 7a)

Yes, they've recently added some new legislation about those booths.
- what some people will do to look good on a night out..

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I can't believe tanning booths are still legal

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

If the night is good enough, you won't remember.
