Above: Heavy showers moved through the 
First Day of Summer
It is here, arguably the best day of the year. Summer arrives at 7:59pm tonight here in the east. I love summer! I love heat and humidity and thunderstorms. As a kid it was winter, but once I started driving I began to hate the snow, later the cold, and now I just loath winter. Give me sunshine, beaches, bicycles and more. I will take 30C over -10C any day.
Sadly the weather has had a tough go of it this week. We had more heavy rain yesterday in Kemptville. Over one inch of rain (25mm) fell bringing the monthly total up and over 90mm. It has been wet. There are no signs of it drying out in the near future. The air mass remains unstable, and we can expect more showers and thunderstorms by this afternoon once again, and each afternoon through Monday.
The heavy rain may have played a roll in a very serious accident in Kemptville yesterday at the dangerous intersection of County Road 43 and Sommerville Road. The 4:20 pm collision involved as many as four vehicles with several people being transported to hospital, one by air ambulance. KFD and OPP along with Leeds and Grenville Paramedics responded to the scene. Our reporter Chris Hofley also was on site and snapped some great shots including the two above.
