Yesterday qualifies as a day of contrasts.
There was a sharp wind accompanying what looked like small kernels of snow.
Snow tore across the parking lot in front of Ace Hardware.
It was the kind of snow that was considered perfect for skiing when I lived in Salt Lake City.
After the cold front passed, the sun came out.
After the snow clouds passed, the sun shined brightly.
Evidence of the wind could be seen in the ash leaves blown against the garage doors.
Ash leaves covered a portion of the driveway.
Our ash tree survived the emerald ash borer due to the annual care of Master Arborist Wayne White.
Another advantage of Illinois living, is the great mid-September to late mid-September weather.
Those small kernels of snow are called graupel…google it.
