Wow.

That cold front? The one that was supposed to hit about midnight?

I was sitting in my sewing room (upstairs, west side), working merrily along, watching Dick Van Dyke, trying to get thestupidcaketobakethatwon't AHEM, and

WHOOM

and

WHOOO-OOOOM!!!*

Smart me, I checked anyway, and yep, northside shows trees swaying and leaves blowing and a definite coolness in the air that wasn't there at dusk. (77 degrees at 5 pm, and it's sat at 75 for 3 hours since then.)  I opened the window, just cause I CAN, and the wind is making lots of whistling noises at it goes by, but not getting in (much) Scratch that, it's gotten in and trying to wreak havoc with the mess on my cutting table.  It's still 80 in the sewing room, but it'll drop over 20 degrees tonight.


So for the record, the cold front has arrived!  And my cake still won't bake GRRR.


By the way, jordannamorgan, your package arrived! Wow, I had a ball unpacking it all! I need to get back to work and get the stupid cake out of the oven againbut more to come! It's all so lovely!



* That's the first gust of wind with the front hitting the house, if you haven't figured it out by now. ;)

I just got hit by that wind too! It totally freaked me out. So I got online to see if there were storm warnings, but now it has died down and is calm again. Very bizarre.

We wanted to go take a walk, but no way. We've got lots of dust blowing around. I was outside for only a few seconds and I still feel like I should go splash water on my eyes and brush my teeth again. I love wind though, but not too fond of the stuff it's blowing around right now (still nothing like the "Red Dust Day" we had a few years ago, that was crazy).

We actually had a brief thunderstorm here. That's just bizarre to me, what with Christmas just days away.

It was windy here today, with DIRT blowing up from the south. Then in the mid-afternoon the wind died down, but the dirt stayed in the air. I told my co-workers, "Welcome to Lubbock."

You don't get that effect at ALL here in the East. A front generally sort of wanders in, the wind slowly rises, etc. There's no clear dividing line between "Here, this is not the front" and "here, the front!".
