WIND ADVISORY AND STUFF

Such a scientific word, "stuff", eh?  We all enjoyed a 4-hour power outage last night, and with more strong wind slated for this afternoon through tomorrow mid-day, it could happen again.  This area has a lot of dead/dying/weakened ash and locust trees that more easily come down in strong winds.  A Wind Advisory is in place for ACA from 1pm today for a 24-hour period.  Click HERE for details.

As our precipitation ends tonight, temps will plummet well down into the 20s, but at least the cold temps soon mitigate after one day.

In retrospect, thank goodness our surface temps stayed above 32 degrees with all the snow that was falling last Saturday.  I was fine with that!

Ah, and Leap Year is here as tomorrow is Feb. 29.  If you are wondering when leap years occur, divide any year by four.  If it divides cleanly, then it's a Leap Year.  The history of a Leap Year goes FAR back in time, in case you were wondering.  Click HERE for a good article on it from TIME.

Daylight Saving is just around the corner, but not this weekend.  It will be the following weekend, March 10.

That's all the news from Lake Wobegon, saddle pals.
