Winter with a VENGANCE ...

WOW ... I thought about several different expletives here

At 4:52pm on 2 Dec 2013 it was 56°F...
At 7:53am this morning (5 Dec 2013) it is -20°F.
That figures to be a 76°F temperature plummet in a mere 64 hours ... ... thank goodness the wind stopped blowing!

Current weather data for Junction, Utah can be seen here.
Believe me it's worth a peek. You will be able to see the temperature drop until 12 Dec when it will scroll off the graph.

Just think how confused trees, plants, and livestock are feeling! ...And COLD!
Yes, a three letter WOW! works good, here.

Can't beat that but we also had a bit of weather shock in the normally sunny southland.

I was kayaking on the Kiamichi below Fort Towson (OK) Wednesday afternoon and it was 78 degrees. Spent part of the night at Beaver's Bend then left around 4 AM to be in Mena (AR) by dawn. My plan was to drive the Talimena with the rising sun at my back and get some good photos of the approaching storm. My timing was a bit off. It was 24 degrees and foggy with a steady drizzle by the time I reached the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge. Never saw the sun but I did see ice on the trees and just beginning to form on the road. I stayed with it but in retrospect probably shouldn't have; a white knuckle drive for sure.

Not too bad in the flatlands with sleet and freezing rain on the way home to Texas Thursday afternoon but we're iced over here now with a forecast of 12 degrees overnight.

A good time to stay in bed with a good book or someone who's read one.
