We started the day in the low 70s. By the time we got to Lowell the
temperature was 95.
On the way home, we encountered a thunderstorm in Hinton - high winds &
hard rain. The temperature dropped by 20 degrees.
By the time we got to Pipestem, the temperature had dropped by 30 degrees
- 95-65.
Feels a lot better!
