Harris: Faux Fall To Continue

Item: A hot, dry fall: Temperatures still in the 70s after no rain fell in September /Alecia Warren, Press

More Info: I know what you’re thinking: ‘If this is fall in Idaho, why didn’t I just stay in California?’ It’s hardly trick-or-treating weather yet in Kootenai County: Sunshine still steaming down relentlessly, not a spec of rain cluttering the skies. Throngs are still hiking and biking in shorts, embracing the thermostats teetering around the 70s. Even our eyes are denied the seasonal promise: Most trees remain a sea of chlorophyll, delaying the usual coppers and golds. This faux fall will continue at least through the first half of October, said climatologist Cliff Harris.

Question: Anyone out there who doesn’t like the wonderful fall weather that we’ve had this year?
