Gone with the sun.....

 6:18 am - Wednesday - April 19th - LPG&RVR - 27° F, humidity 80%, wind 2 mph out of the south by southwest.....cloudy today with a forecast high of 42° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were in Petaluma, CA having a late lunch at the Pub Republic Petaluma...↴


Of course, you know what the story for Tuesday was.  If you have somehow forgotten, I'll post one picture of that to which we awoke.....


....whenever one gets too far north to early in the Spring one can expect some of that cold, white stuff which gently floats down from the sky well into May in some cases.  We had Jello plans to drive into Alturas for the first time this year, but with 4" of snow on the LPG&RVR grounds, and temps in the mid 20's for most of the day, that seemed like a bad idea.  So, TLE and I took our first 'snow day' of 2023.  If this Spring is anything like the Spring of 2022 we should see more of this stuff in the next few weeks.

By 2:30 pm the white stuff had vanished.....


.....how that snow melted so quickly when it didn't get over 32° F until after 2 pm is a mystery to me, but it did, and suddenly order was restored to our world.  I'm sure the appearance of Mr. Sun had something to do with that......



.....TLE and I remained in doors pretty much all day.  I ventured out to the trailer for about 5 minutes, but that was the extent of my outdoor experience on Tuesday.  We 'rocked' all four of our electric heaters continuously, all the day long.  I think they turned themselves off around 4 pm, but by 5:30 pm they were all running once again as the high temp of 36° F came and went.

There are only two RVs in the park as I write....the others mostly were wisely gone by late Monday afternoon knowing full well it was going to snow Tuesday.  Today, Wednesday, begins the first of 4 days of work for TLE and I.  We do not expect many golfers today, but we shall see.

Thanks for stopping by for this ever so brief update!
