Strange day, yesterday

[Whitespider]

Got out'a bed around 4:30 AM and it was just a bit chilly in the house... at least a bit chillier than the wife and kids would like it. Started a small fire. Temp outside was in the 30's, with a pretty good wind and cloudy. Around 11:00 AM the sun came out, warmed up to near 60 by 2:00 PM... fire is out and house is plenty warm. The wind was blowing out of the south, the perfect direction for me to blow leaves into the ditch. Man, with that 25-35 mph wind all I had to do was get those leaves moving and the wind did the rest for me. With the leaves cleaned up I could see the grass was a bit long... so I mowed the yard... IN NOVEMBER! I've never before in my life mowed in November... and all I was wearing was a flannel shirt. "Round 4:30 PM the wind switched to the north-west and the temp started dropping... 6:00 PM and I'm starting the fire again. Strange day, yesterday. 28-degrees outside right now and they're calling for snow tonight... just gotta' love Iowa weather.

Grew up in Iowa. That's all you had to say about weird day. Iowa weather. It's pretty crappy.

Blow 60mph out of the south, then turn to the NW and howl all night long and drop 60 deg into a snow storm. I don't miss that at all! YUCK

Now I know why the wife is always wanting to take a road trip to NE Iowa in the summer to view the scenery.

The day before the storm we had the other week I was raking leaves for the first time for the year...after I raked I mowed the grass...then the next day I was shoveling snow.

Same here...plowed snow one day, then did storm clean up for a couple days and was back out mowing grass and doing fall clean up. This year has been screwy to say the least on the east side of the country.
