(No count conducted today)
Weather:
A belated report for Thursday. No one available for the day's count. It
was overcast with sporadic light rain showers for first part of the day,
with increasing winds from the W-SW by late afternoon. At 7:40 p.m.
heading home over the mountain the strong W-SW wind gusts estimated at
35-45 mph, were enough to move Toyota Highlander toward right shoulder of
I-64! It was interesting to note that with the BRISK W-SW winds, the
temperature dropped overnight for a very cold evening.
