Weather Wednesday

Hello Wingers,

Here it is Wednesday and I'm trying to figure out this North Texas weather. It reminds me a lot like the weather we had there at Clinton-Sherman. I can recall going to the base from Sentinel, facing a head wind and going home in the evening facing a head wind. The winds would come from the north and even with a parka and parka pants couldn't keep warm in the winter. Do you remember the sky's changing color - red/brown, caused by Kansas and Texas changing hands overhead.

Well it isn't quite that bad here in Granbury. However one day it is 80 degrees, and the next day it is 40 degrees. Little wind one day and the next it is strong enough to "blow" your hat off. The weather man tells you to watch out for the strong storms coming out of Colorado and nothing happens, then the next day all "hell" breaks loose.

I'm still looking for that first Robin, but the trees are all buded out and ready for summer, what happened to spring? I'm wearing out my clothes, shorts one day, long pants the next day. Light weight jacket today and heavy coat and stocking cap the next, boy what a year so far.

Hope you have a good week.
