Do you ever wonder about the weather? Yesterday I thought about it all day. I thought about how strange the weather in King Salmon is. When I got up yesterday we had 40 mph winds in the morning with gusts reaching 70 mph. The gusts were occurring often. The pine trees were bending in half, the house shuttered, and the wind roared. I tried to walk to work but I could not walk against the wind. My eyeballs dried out before reaching the corner. I had to call a neighbor to get a lift as there was just no way I could walk a mile in that stuff.
By 9:30 it was a whole different story. The winds had died the temps fell and so did the snow. Large quarter size snowflakes. They danced through the air but there were many of them that you could not see anything but white when you looked out the window. So much snow was falling that the office satellite dish was quickly covered and our Internet service was down.
By 12:30 the temps rose and the snow turned to rain. It melted the snow that had fallen and made everything slick and slippery.
By 2:00 the sun was out and not a cloud could be found in the sky. It too melted more snow and ice.
By 4:30 when I walked home the wind was again building up. All in the same day. Weather here is just too crazy!
