You do get used to it though. Once in March, me & a girlfriend went to Clearwater & were sunbathing on the beach only to get kicked off because of a storm coming. People were wearing winter coats with hoods including the guy that was kicking us out! We were just fine in our bikinis. We had our suntan lotion on & wind blew sand all over us. The guy said we looked like breaded pork chops LOL. On the other side, I would have a hard time dealing w/ extreme heat during our winters.

False alarm last night. Snow turned to rain so no snow accumulation since I am close to lake. Mike is out plowing by him - 30 miles north -he got over 12 inches during the night.
It's just starting to snow big so we should get 2-4 inches. Joan, I see you are at 8* f so, that will be here tomorrow... low of 0 f supposedly. I got sneezels & fever & chills ...I think I have a flu.

Yesterday was cool, with a high of 58 F. By 9pm the temperature had dropped to 36 F but then slowly began rising (!) to reach 42 F at sunrise this morning. It is currently 80 F at 11am, go figure.

27F here this morning, with heavy frost again (9th day of frost in the last 3.5 weeks).
A mile down the road they had sprinklers running on some young alfalfa when I drove by at 4pm. When I drove by this morning at 7:30am the sprinklers were off and the ice was piled high. Unusual to see that around here. |

Yes, it was 80 F in my backyard for about 1.5 hours until the clouds moved in and whammo, back down to 68 F.

Seems like we've been getting a couple of inches of rain every week. We got over 2 inches early last week and just got ANOTHER 5 inches from Friday night to Sunday morning. I've never seen the ground so wet this time of year, and it just keeps coming with no dry-out in between the storms.

35-40 Centigrade with 35 kph winds, 25% humidity, and it's cloudy but refuses to rain even an eensy bit. I miss the jungle.

Any pics of your desert, Beth? I'd be very interested in seeing it... on a picture, off course.
