Galeton had a very dry month. Most mornings started out in the 40’s and 50’s. There were however, a few 60 degree mornings and two mornings in the high 30’s. We had many clear sunny days. Pine Creek and Berger Lake are very low. There is a little Fall-like feeling in the air as we close out the month.

Last year we had near record rainfall at 10.25″.  This year we received 1.10″ That reading is the driest since 1968. We heard thunder on 3 days but no storms. We had 11 foggy mornings.

I am sure everyone has noticed that for the most part the green grass has turned tan or brown however the lawn mowers and tractors are still mowing. Brown grass looks good when it is cut short. We can’t stop mowing but it is almost time to stop.
