Near Tulsa, Oklahoma. 53* and sunny tomorrow.

In NE Kansas we had our last warm day yesterday. The cold Canadian air is on it's way and will be highs in the upper 40's with cold overnight temps. There is even a chance of a trace of snow next weekend mixed with rain depending on how far south the cold front makes it.

High 70s to low 80s today. Was 70 degrees at 8 o'clock this morning here in the extreme SE corner of Virginia.

It's getting cold up here. The highs currently are in the mid-twenties - and dropping.
The courses here have been closed for almost a month now. Winter is moving in and we won't have an opportunity to golf until at least mid-April

Just spoke to a good friend in Arkansas 29 degrees and as low as19 tonight....ouch

It's been unseasonably mild here in the Lehigh Valley the past few days, with some much needed rain showers and daytime highs in the low 50's. Clearing up tonight and the next 4-5 days look dry and back to more normal mid-40's daytime highs.

Last month we had over 6" of rain about three times the norm. So far this month we have had about 2" but also 5-20 mph most every day. The rest of this month and next it looks like temps in the low to mid 40's with rain every other day. Still high winds as well with some chance of snow around Xmas week. A few years ago I would be playing most every day, but I have become a wuss and probably will play perhaps 7/8 times.

This is about 2900 ft in elevation
Indian Summer today might snow in the low land in a few days.

Release

I found a ball like that, albeit in much thicker branches a couple of weeks ago. I pulled it before I thought to take a picture.

      Someone drilled a hole on this one hook and fish lined to tie it on the branches.
      You'll probably see the line is you could enlarge the picture.

          It is the favorite place to lose a tee shot if someone pull it to the left, water hazards and pot bunker around the spot.
          I found this while looking for my tee ball. Never did find it but found 2 other balls.

            Back deck thermometer never got above 32* today here in Lake Arrowhead. Strong 20+ mph winds all day took the wind chill down quite a bit. Not sure what it was exactly but felt in the 20's outside most of the day. Still windy right now.

            Temps were mid-40's today just north of Allentown, light breeze. The cloud cover made it feel a few degrees cooler, but didn't get too uncomfortable until the last few holes. The balls weren't carrying, and the greens were slowish. And it was cart-path only, but... it was good to get outside and get in some exercise and fresh air and share the afternoon with some friends.

            But I am nearing the "no thanks" territory. Got matches set up for this weekend, then not sure when I'll be playing again. The older I get, the more fair-weathered I get.
