THAT DRASTIC TEMP CHANGE!

      This past Wednesday, April, 19, 2017, could have been one of those days to remember, but, didn't quite get there and that was a good thing. The word was out that by that evening we would be experiencing terrible storms around the state due to unusual weather. 

        The "word" also was that there were even some of these Storm Chasers coming here from as far away as Mississippi to possibly view tornadoes and more. That morning it was quite cool and by noon I decided to put a light jacket on while going in and out while working at the Burg Grocery.

        By 12:30PM and within the hour the temperature had risen up to nearly 80 degrees. I guess they were right. No not entirely! There were no big storms or tornadoes that evening around the state or at least none that did much damage.

        The only time in my life that I can remember the temp changing that drastically and that fast was in Colorado many years ago. It happened to an in-laws home west and up from Denver, Colorado. It was a pleasant and warm summer evening and we were outside while barbecuing. All of a sudden a gust of wind came down suddenly from high up in the mountains and the temp changed at least 20 degrees within seconds. It was quite an experience!
