I arrived back at our place in Crossville, TN around 5PM Tuesday, I travelled alone this time, Kathy decided to stay in MO. The trip was uneventful. Had some spotty heavy rain in TN, but none of the storms were large. I drove through each of them in less than 5 minutes.
The cooler temperatures in Crossville (when compared to those we experience in MO) never cease to amaze me. It was warmer in MO, when I left a little after 6AM than it was when I arrived in Crossville around 4:30PM. I've been watching the high temps every day recently and over the past 2 weeks Crossville high temps have averaged 6-9 degrees cooler than those in Centertown. According to the 10 day forecast highs will average 2.6 degrees cooler in Crossville during the period. Since Crossville is over 200 miles further south than Centertown, the only reason I could think of was the elevation difference, Crossville is about 1,000 feet higher than Centertown. Doug suggested that it might be due to the jet stream. The jet stream probably at least a part of the reason. After all, it is stunning that temperatures in Denmark, which is located about as far north as Hudson Bay in Canada, only experiences 2 winter months where low temps average slightly below freezing, about the same as Charlotte, NC.
Doug & Antony were in MO for the weekend and we all were able to enjoy one another's company. Lydia loves all the attention from her Indianapolis Gpa's. They were scheduled to Indy yesterday.
Hopefully during this trip I will finish the kitchen electrical wiring, get the drywall installed on at least 2 of the kitchen walls and get the order placed for kitchen base cabinets.
Plans are to return to MO either next Monday or Tuesday.
May God bless you and yours.
