| Jun 3 | Oregon - Record-setting rain damages crops - Record-setting June rains and a wetter than usual May have put farm crops at risk for disease and pushed backed the date that fruits and vegetables will be ready for market, says this article on KVAL news.
"It looks a lot more like March than it looks like June," said Tom Lively of Lively Organics. "We haven't been able to get in with tillers or hoes because it's so muddy that it would just clump up in the equipment."
"By Saturday, pretty much all the melons we had planted had root rotted and died in spots," Lively said. "We just had big rows of dead melons."
Meanwhile, the garlic crop isn't doing any better. A fungus - caused by the excess rain - is destroying the garlic bulbs. | |

| May 30 | Coldest May on record for E. Idaho - Through Sunday, three all-time record lows had been set in Pocatello this month. The low on May 5 was 21, tying the all-time low for that day. On May 7, it was also 21, four degrees below the previous record of 25. Another low of 30 was set May 22, two degrees below the prior record.
The average temperature so far this May has been 48.1 degrees, a full 5 degrees below normal. Unless Sunday's and Monday's temperatures bump that up significantly, this May could go down as Pocatello’s coldest ever. The coldest May ever recorded in the Gate City was in 1953, when the month’s average temperature was 48.8 degrees.

Both Washington and Philadelphia need about 9 more inches of snow to give them their snowiest winters since 1884.
That should be an easy target, because Washington is bracing a foot of snow or more, while as much as 20 inches could again bury both Baltimore and Philadelphia.
In West Virginia, Gov. Joe Manchin urged people to clear the snow from the roofs of public buildings to avoid collapse. | |

"Lower temperatures, strong winds and deep, powdery snow could make this the worst of the two storms even in areas that were hit hard with the last."
"From a meteorological standpoint the prospect of two blizzards in less than a week for the same area is absolutely amazing! Three storms delivering over a foot of snow in one season is unheard of in some areas."
The new storm "could make the 2009-2010 winter season the snowiest ever for many mid-Atlantic cities."

| Feb 5 | Biggest snowstorm in Washington, D.C. in modern history - A record 2 1/2 feet - or more! - is forecast for the nation's Capitol tonight and tomorrow, says this article on yahoo.com.
The storm comes less than two months after a December storm dumped more than 16 inches of snow on Washington, which has received more than a foot of snow only 13 times since 1870.
"The heaviest on record was 28 inches in January 1922," the article continues. "The biggest snowfall for the Washington-Baltimore area is believed to have occurred in 1772, before official records were kept, when as much as 3 feet fell in the Washington-Baltimore area, an epic event George Washington and Thomas Jefferson mentioned in their diaries."
