Not Just Twin Citians’ Imagination
Summer in the Upper Midwest can seem cruelly short, and it’s not just because late June temps can dip into the 40’s overnight (the case now).
It’s because the official beginning of Summer (the solstice, on June 21) arrives scarcely two weeks before the traditional mid-point (July 4).
In fact, given that the 4th falls on a Tuesday this year, you’d expect the long 4th of July weekend to start Friday, June 30 or even earlier for some folks . . .
P.S.: Lots of recent cloudy weather also obscures the very late sundown, now past 9 p.m. locally.
