Crazy Weather Again

So, the last time I mentioned the weather a couple of weeks ago, it was because it was crazy cold for this area.

Now it is crazy warm for this time of year. It started Friday, in fact not until Friday afternoon really. We've had High Wind Warnings all weekend and they are expected to continue until Friday.

Also because of the extremely low humidity we have had a Red Flag Warning (ie. extreme fire danger) in effect all weekend. It was 88°F (31°C) on Monday & Tuesday and the same again today. Not bad for "Winter".

Conversely, Grand Forks, North Dakota recorded a low temperature today of just -37°F (-38°C). Just for reference, the average temperature at the North Pole this time of year is around -32°F (-35°C).
