Southwestern Virginia has experienced the hottest summer on record this year. Record number of days with temps in excess of 90 degrees F & 100 degrees F. Artic ice is melting & opening up sea lanes that are ususlly locked except for icebreakers. Unusually small amount of snow in this area the last several winters.....practically none
