Huge Temperature Change
Might be some type of record for the ranch, I don't remember a swing this big. At 3 pm yesterday, it was 87°. fifteen hours later, at 6 this morning, it was 31°. I know there are a lot of colder temperatures but a 56° change inside a day is larger than I've seen.
I was on the roof of my house and barn yesterday picking up pecans before the wind got to them. It felt like it was summertime.

Re: Huge Temperature Change
Same here in Sugar Land. There was some fringe ice on puddles when I took the dogs for a walk earlier this morning. The dogs didn't seem to mind as much as I did.

87degrees around here IS summertime RD... Back in the mid 80's I saw about the same "swing" in temps in Van Horn, Texas were I was at for a few days. Wash your truck during the day, scrape ice off in the morning. Weird. Here we're just having our "normal" 15 to 25 degree days, bout' a foot of snow on the ground. Brutal weather in some parts of the country right now, must be that "global warming" I keep hearing about... Wife and I have been "sickly" for about a month now, rattle in the chest, dry cough, about half lung capacity. Been to the local doctors a couple times, they ain't got a clue. First was antibiotics then put us on Prednazone. You guys have heard the old saw "somewhere out there is the worlds worst doctor, and tomorrow someone has an appointment with them", well welcome to Klickitat Valley Hospital.....Think I'll call my friend Carl the Vet see what meds he has. Actually I am feeling better today and being upright is always better than the alternative. Oh, and by the way all, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you.

Re: Huge Temperature Change
We had a pretty wierd shift here too. Not quite the temperature swing you got but went from single digits most of last week, to rain yesterday(while I was hunting), then it poured, and back to low 20's freezing. Everything is coated with about an 1/8th inch of ice. When it gets like this it makes me wonder how the critters deal w/ it.

Re: Huge Temperature Change
Yeap sure is different this week over last! It actually hit 30° after I posted so 57° of change! I wrote that down in my ranch book where I record the unusual things. That is quite a swing.
I must be hard on the critters. I've seen a couple of deer today around the house and they were running. It is up to 35° and the birds are moving about.

Re: Huge Temperature Change
As posted on RR site we went from 67 to 12. I'm in Texas too. It's 23 here with a WC near 0. Just remember, in six months it will be 107 here.

Re: Huge Temperature Change
Yeah that down there with about the same drop we saw. Supposed to be down to 25° tonight. I don't think I've ever seen it in the teens here or at least no notes in my book. Seen 21°. Bad thing is none of our homes down here are built for those types of temperatures.GasGuzzler wrote:As posted on RR site we went from 67 to 12. I'm in Texas too. It's 23 here with a WC near 0.
