The low windchill was 0 at 9:19am. Temperatures fell quickly thru the
40s in the AM, then into the 30s in the afternoon. The late evening low
fell to 24.
Also, i had put recycling out Tue. I found one trash can (empty) in the
middle of the street. Also found my recyclable container some 75 yards
away, setting along a fence next to the interstate!
Where Did My Probe Go?
When i got up Tue, one of my older thermometers showed "HH.H", Since i
don't depend on it for readings, i really did not investigate.
[When i moved here (2.5 years ago), i had no good location to put a
thermometer. So i used a support for shelving, & then attached a
margarine cup by tying the wire thru. Now i use several wireless units.]
When i went out Wed AM, sure enough, not only is cup gone, but so was
the probe.

As sunset arrived, this was the effect of the variable cloud decks.
