Dropping Temperatures

Everyone I talk with, whether it's on the telephone, or on Facebook, or listening to the news, is talking about how cold it is where they are, or how much snow they've had, or how much they're expecting.

This Polar Blast that is hitting most of the United States is nasty. The news tonight was full of pictures of car wrecks, of vehicles sliding off the road, and all kinds of snowy roads. Usually winter comes on a bit more gradually, giving people a chance to adjust to colder weather. This year, many places had not even had a killing frost yet. It's been a long Indian Summer for most areas.

Here in southern Arizona, we may get a bit of the cooler air. The temperature at almost nine o'clock has dropped to 60 degrees, It's not that unusual to see a twenty to twenty-five degree drop in the evenings. It is the desert after all.
