Roller coaster temperatures

“If you don’t like the weather now, just wait a day and it’ll surely change!” Boy, that is the absolute truth where I live! Starting Christmas night, we had a record setting snowstorm. In fact, it hadn’t snowed on Christmas at all in 86 years until this year. But let me tell you, the snowfall we got this time made up for all those years when it didn’t fall. See, it was also a record for depth, with some places getting over 13 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. Between that and the sleet and freezing rain that came along with it, there were trees and power lines down everywhere and so many people without power.

Fast forward to this week: It’s now January 6 and we are looking ahead to temperatures in the 50s along with some strong thunderstorms and lots of rain. It’s no wonder so many people are getting sick. There just isn’t any way to know how to dress from one day to the next. Overnight lows might be in the teens while daytime highs might be in the 50s. So confusing!

The only solution is to dress in layers, topping it all off with the best patagonia winter coats, and be able to gradually peel off the layers as the day warms up.
