\"\"Summer is here, well almost here.<\/p>\n

The summer solstice is at 10:57am this morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"This marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. On average, there is a one-month lag between the solstice and peak summer temperatures. That’s why July is almost always the hottest month of the year in most locations.<\/p>\n

Some refer to it as “the longest day of the year,” but to be precise, it’s the day with the most daylight because every “day” has 24 hours. The amount of daylight will be roughly consistent for a few more days before shrinking each day until the winter solstice in late December.<\/p>\n

Fall officially begins Saturday, September 23rd.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"The holder of a winning $70 million winning Lotto Max<\/a> ticket still hasn’t come forward to claim their prize and it’s about to expire.<\/p>\n

The OLG<\/a> has encouraged people to check their tickets for the June 28, 2022 draw, saying the ticket that won the jackpot was sold in Toronto\u2019s Scarborough area.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re urging anyone that may have purchased a LOTTO MAX ticket in Scarborough to check clothing pockets and personal accessories, including handbags, backpacks, wallets and computer bags. The ticket expires on Wednesday, June 28, 2023.<\/p>\n

If prizes go unclaimed in national lottery games, OLG uses them for future bonus draws and promotions. In Ontario-only games, unclaimed prizes support important areas like healthcare and education.<\/p>\n

\"\"Millions of Mormon crickets are blanketing parts of Idaho and Nevada.<\/p>\n

The so-called Mormon crickets are flightless, ground-dwelling insects that migrate in massive bands. They resemble fat grasshoppers, aren’t known to bite humans, and they give the appearance of invading populated areas by covering buildings, sidewalks and roadways.<\/p>\n

City officials have deployed crews to clean up cricket carcasses. The Transportation Department is warning motorists around Elko, Nevada to drive slowly in areas where vehicles have crushed Mormon crickets. Crickets make for potentially slick driving. There are so many they’re even using plows to remove them from the road. When run over, they smell like burning flesh.<\/p>\n

The crickets \u2014 which are about two inches long and have plump bodies. The swarms moving across Nevada can last four to six years before they are brought under control by other insects and predators.<\/p>\n

\n

Hearing CRICKETS!<\/p>\n

When highways begin to look like this with the seasonal arrival of Mormon crickets, we plow and sand for better driving traction.<\/p>\n

And these signs on area highways are a reminder to TAKE IT SLOW when crickets make for potentially slick driving.? pic.twitter.com\/o5vgJzPyCa<\/a><\/p>\n
