Note
I don't look at the Kansas City Star as often as I used to back in the days when Spike was a KC employee and assisting head dude sort of guy. But something stirred me to look at it this morning, and right up top was a funky picture of Mayor Funkhouser, who used to be Spike's boss.
What made the photo funky was the house in the background, which wasn't looking too happy. In fact, it looked like it had been beset upon.
Last night some strong Wyoming winds snucked across the prairies and, when nobody was looking, pounced on portions of Kansas City and did some appreciable amounts of destruction.
Judging by the blizzard roaring through Laramie this morning, Kansas City may need some shelter from the (coming) storm.

Around town at end of the day (highways closed all day.) Some snow, a bit more wind, but the worst of the wind was off to the east and so it wasn't so bad.

run 1:18:00 [2]
In between repeated snow squalls, there were moments when it wasn't snowing. Technically, this qualifies as snow intervals. For some reason, I felt like a harmonica every time a new squall blew through. When I got home, I got an atlas, opened it up randomly several times, and each time I stabbed a finger down on it with my eyes closed. Must have been some kind of hoodoo voodoo going on, because every single time my finger ended up on top of Marksville, Louisiana. Very strange!

run intervals 1:24:00 [4]
It was really quite nice out this afternoon, and, for a while, almost calm. But while I was out mapping and close to the time I had been planning to stop, I felt a whiff of wind coming from a new direction, and the air coming in on the wind was noticably cooler. That had to be the arrival of the predicted cold front--and it was. I quit mapping and headed out to run, hoping to beat any wet/white stuff, and did a standard set of intervals.
It was icy cold and the wind was blasting away by the time I got done, but the only precipitation I encountered was my own sweat. Glad to get this done todat, because tomorrow is not looking too great.
My guess is that temps dropped 25-30 degrees in the space of an hour. Brrrrrr!
