We've Got Weather

Weather:

High - 58
Low - 45

After weeks of ho-hum sunshine every day, today we've had some interesting weather.  It was cloudy when we got up this morning, and we had sprinkles off an on.  Then around 10:00 it started to rain harder.  The temperature dropped to 45 and we had 1/4" hail.  This is the golf practice cage across from us.



We had periods of sun and rain all afternoon, with a total of .04" of rain for the day.  As the sun was going down the sky was full of big dark clouds and it was raining nearby.  The clouds were amazing.  This photo doesn't really do it justice.


















In the next couple of days we're expecting lows in the low to mid 20s and highs in the 40s, but the sun will be out.  Fortunately this kind of weather lasts only a few days, just long enough to be interesting.

Last week we took a day trip east to the Willcox area to see the wintering Sandhill Cranes.  It was a neat trip.  We added thirteen birds to our annual list.
