Day 2
What a contrast from Day 1, a sunny, warm day with a high temperature
of 80°. On the other hand, Day 2 was cold, wet, windy and miserable!
Added to the cold and wind was lightning, thunder and heavy rain that
caused a 45 minute delay in the meet.
The Scene
Day 1 Warm, Almost Summer Day |
Day 2--Cold, Wet, Almost Winter Day |
