March weather

After two glorious days in which the temperature reached highs in the upper 60s winter has returned to the Aerie. Temperatures dropped overnight during some heavy rains and it was 32 degrees at 7 AM. It has continued to spiral downward and is no 30 degrees at noon with the rain changed over to snow.

The change in weather has sparked the return of the goldfinches and juncos to the feeders and there are a hundred or more birds taking advantage of the free lunch.

Accuweather.com and The Weather Channel both show us in the rain but that is clearly wrong. I wonder where they get their data from for this locale. They also predict a possibility of more snow Friday night into Saturday. At least the snow that was on the ground has disappeared.
