Windy today. The temperature is right at freezing but 25mph gusts are making it a wind chill of much colder. Good thing it is gusts and breeze is a steady 10mph but it brings a "feels like" of 24⁰f (-4⁰C). Google news aggregater headlines a "western" state agricultural drought problem which...

That's it, @ducks4you. I feel like I am now living somewhere in southern Arizona. Of course, it isn't that hot and dry here. Looking at the WS information on averages: it shows that Springfield had its driest year in 1940 with just over 20 inches. Drought is measured as a current comparison...

We had snow twice last week, it must be gone this morning because it's not freezing out there in the darkness. Rain is coming soon, we are told. We also had a 13⁰f morning (-11⁰C) a few days ago. It would hardly have been remarkable except that it was the coldest temperature in the Winter of...
