Thunderstorm days for August

In August we saw 6 thunderstorms days this was down from July by 7days....Some people ask me what are thunderstorm days...Well a thunderstorm day is when one can hear thunder,though the thunderstorm may not be over head it is still consider a thunderstorm day.....Ok moving on ward..
Also in the month of August most parts of the Western/Northwestern WI saw their first frost of the this Early fall...Though it was not a killing a frost,still there was frost on the windshields of cars,and trucks.This occurred on August 24 th...Here again people asked me if this is normal..Well yes and no...Here is what I mean...As a rule we don't see frost in August however it has happened many times before....It is not that uncommon as people think..It is that the cold air doesn't stick around that long and as a rule it get hot right after the cold snap,which was the case..So people tend to forget about the brief cold....As they will be talking about the hot humid air,as was the deal after the first frost this season....
I will be updating my website this weekend....
Also I side note all those nice sunsets we have been treated to over the last two weeks or so are caused by an volcano up in Alaska....As the ash cloud as made it this far South in the upper levels of the atmosphere...Will post pictures of that to my website this weekend sometime..So stay tuned!
