A great day weather wise was yesterday. We did have a very strong wind it was fairly tolerable because the temperature got up to 62 degrees. It did go down to 60 at 4:00 pm. Sometime later things changed. I'd say our weather went to hell which may not sound right but it sure does seem correct. The temperature was down to 18 at 1:00 am. At 5:00 this morning it was only 14 and has lost another degree since. A general cover of ice then to pretty it up some mother covered that with a nice and pretty to view, white sleet. Better be careful walking on that white trap.
Reminds me of some words in one of Claude Kings songs, "I sat down on a bear trap just this morning, it was camouflaged so I had no warning, I couldn't bear the pain when I ran out of chain, I sat down on a bear trap just this morning." May not be a 100% correct recollection but it's close. As far as that goes, who's to challenge me on it? I've not talked to anyone who has even heard of Claude King.
One thing about the weather, with a wind chill below zero, I won't get overheated when I'm out there scraping around. Good old Missouri sounds exciting doesn't it?
Yeah, I know there are some that have it a lot worse but I'm not going to feel sorry for them nor for us because we're all pretty well where we've chosen to be.
