IT'S FEELS LIKE SUMMER BUT.....

It has been hot the last few days and the Hill Spirit has been beating the heat with the Pitchfork's wonderful shave ice and burning through those frequent customer reward cards that they give out.
However, it looks like the hot weather will last a few more days and then start to cool back off about next Tuesday or Wednesday.  The maps look like it will stay cooler at least until the middle of September. Map from weatherbell.com
