Good 51º drizzling morning.
Yesterday we topped at 78º and then in the afternoon the temperature dropped to 72º and we had wild winds!!! The clouds started coming in darker and more serious!
Brian called and at 3pm it was raining in Grants Pass, but it didn't start here until about 7:15. It rained on and off all night. We got about 1/2".
While all this wind was kicking up a turkey Tom was sitting on a sled handle out by the downed tree...
Lori Roe Bouquet posted these photos on her FB page. She and Joe live on the Rogue River and she gets some great critter photos! Lori is Sales Manager at Roe Motors in Grants Pass...
