June 2024 was a beautiful month, as usual. However, it was different. It was a dry month until the 26th when we received 2.35″ of rain in thunderstorms. Up to that date we only had received 0.88″ of rain. Also, we had a June heat wave with readings in the mid to high 80’s Morning temperatures were in the 50s and high 60’s.
We had ten foggy mornings, five thunderstorms and one heavy hail storm on the 26th. Areas of my lawn were covered white. I have never observed that before.
Rainfall for June was 3.72″ last year, and the June total was 3.73″
For the year, January through June we received 24,20″ which is 3.05″ above the 20-year average.
Up until the 26th I was concerned about the mowers. Lawns were actually turning tan. Now it looks like another good mowing month. Pine Creek looks very healthy.
Galeton Fireworks will look great over the lake.

Act 48 requires that collegiate courses, continuing professional education courses (offered by intermediate units), and noncredit continuing professional education programs, activities or learning experiences be ‘related to an area of the professional educator’s assignment or certification.’”
Educators seeking college credits can enroll in any NPRC academic courses beginning this summer to help fulfill their 180 continuing education requirements every five years. The institution offers guaranteed admission to anyone with a high school diploma or equivalent, and applying to NPRC for continuing education students can be completed in just two steps. These steps are: 1) create a free account, 2) complete the application. Additionally, NPRC’s Workforce Development division can deliver an Education Team and Leadership Certification course, as well as other customized professional development training courses for local school districts to assist educators in their continuing education coursework.
