The accompanying photo was taken almost a month ago outside of Stanley, Idaho -- a small high mountain town the very often gets the lowest temperatures for the state during the winter months (and sometimes the summer months as well). While I can't swear to it, I believe that there's even been some occasions where Stanley had the low temperature on a national scale too.
So why write about low temperatures? Perhaps because we're over a week into June now, and the weather is acting like we're in March. We've had a lot of wind, chilly temperatures and haven't had the bike out since this particular picture was taken. Today the high in Stanley is expected to be around 54 degrees and partly cloudy. This is JUNE... could we kick it up a notch or two just to keep up with the global warming hype???
I noticed that the weather at my mother's house in Prescott, Arizona is supposed to hit 80 degrees... and to think that I'll be down there starting next Thursday for a short visit until Monday. While it looks like Boise will be doing a roller coaster ride between the 60's and 70's with a good mix of clouds, I'll be contending with a few days that (so far) look to be right in the 80's with no clouds in sight. Poor me!
