Hot and Cold Weather

We're having weird weather today.  Not "oh my God, Global Warming Climate Change going to be killing us all!" weird, but just the kind of weird that happens here when the seasons get ready to change. When we got up this morning to meet friends for breakfast, the air was warm and clammy.  We had fog in some low lying areas, and I even saw some hovering over a rapidly melting heap of old dirty snow. After breakfast, and some chores, we snuck away to the beach in anticipation of a major line of thunderstorms coming.  At the beach, the temperature alternated between hot and cold, depending on the swirls of the winds.  Like I said, weird, but not unheard of.

As I write this, the house is wide open, trying to get some of the warm, humid air inside for the guitars (it's 70 F out, no cold air away from the beach), and the thunderstorms are starting to boom.  The TV just broke in with a tornado warning.
