Iowa is a funny place to live when you consider the weather. I am not a fan of the weather, we get all the extreme conditions, blizzards, negatives and windchill's 40 below zero, heat and humidity re into the triple digits, strong winds, heavy rains, tornadoes, we get it all. We can have an 80 degree temperature change in 24 hours. Only in Iowa. I like 70 year round occasionaly getting up to 90 and down to 50.
Yesterday we knew would be our last nice day for some time. We got to enjoy a taste of spring for a good week. Temperatures reached 70's and broke many records. Typically in February we are experiencing our extreme cold temperatures. Not this past week it was lovely and the sunshine felt like April. We all got out as much a possible, did lots of work and fixing things up around the farm. It was motivating and everyone was in a good mood. We soaked in the sunshine and chose to skip taekwodno and youth group to be outdoors. Today, the temperatures slowly dropped and here I am sitting typing this listening to the wind howl. It is late, everyone is in bed, but it is noisy outside. I cant explain the wind, it is so strong and eerie. It is 20mph and will get stronger in the night. It is raining hard with a kind of sleet mix. Tomorrow night there is a winter blizzard warning and possible 10 inches of snow in parts of the state. I dont like drastic weather changes. Yesterday we enjoyed 70's, today it is in the 30's and snow is coming. Ugh! I guess we can be thankful for the weather last week and the break in the midst of winter.
Here is the weather temps from this past week
Monday 57, Tuesday 64, Wednesday 70, Thursday, 41, Friday 34, Saturday 30 low 14.
