August Ends, Hurricane Season Ramps Up

Statistically hurricane season ramps up in mid August heading towards the peak in mid September. Our weather this week has been active but not because of any tropical system. A front dropped into the Florida peninsula from the north, stalled in north Florida, and caused some real deluges here. Because we ski at dawn, we were able to salvage four days of skiing from an otherwise bad week for lake activities. That made us pretty happy as a tropical system (Isaac) will affect our weather next week. The center of the hurricane is predicted to be almost a hundred miles to the west of us, but the systems are huge. The effects here will still be significant. That means no skiing for most of next week, but maybe we'll be able to ski at the end of the week.
