Wild Spring

Nothing surprises me in spring.  It's the ultimate battle between warm and cold as warm tries to invade and cold tries to hang on.  Friday's low for Reading was 31.  The predicted high for tomorrow is 90, then 75, then 65.  And our weather compared to many other parts of the country is extremely tame.

Like how about Amarillo.



Highways were closed and close to four feet of hail fell on some spots.  In our area that would be extreme but in the central part of the United States especially areas directly east of the Rockies, it's not uncommon.

Aspen is under a winter storm warning.  Shouldn't be much of a surprise for a ski town sitting around 8,000 feet.  Except the town has hit 60 degrees seven times already this month and skiing has pretty much ended.  Until tomorrow I suppose.  Better get out while you can.  The next seven days after that are all predicted to be warmer than their 56 degree average.





Thunderstorms in San Francisco?  Sure.  I don't know the numbers but I can say that this doesn't happen very often.
