My Wake Low Experience . . .

It was a cool drizzly day.  Didn't get anywhere near to the predicted high till near quittin time.  At the last minute this AM I put a sweat shirt on.  Didn't think I would be wearin it very long.  I was wrong once again.  Even though I was wearing my rain jacket and a long sleeve shirt I was freezin.  Just before lunch it got drizzly.  Put my carhart jacket on underneath my rain jacket and also my rain pants.  I was comfortable most the PM.  I did take the rain jacket off for a while.  It is June 15 and I'm wearin all this stuff tryin to keep warm . . . .  Last Wednesday I was gettin sick from the heat, and the very cool Thursday.  Still have a very healthy cough . . . 

Just before quittin time, it got really windy!!!  Treetops were rolling, leaves were comin off and dead limbs were fallin.  I was mowin an area no where close to any trees, so I wasn't too concerned . . . Till my eyes started waterin from the wind.  I'm still picking blades of grass out of my face.  

When I got home I checked the weather report on the net.  There was a special weather statement.  It said something about a Wake Low passin through the area with 30-40 mph gusts.  There were plenty of those!!  I had never heard of a Wake Low.  If ya click on the link, wikipedia will explain it better than I can.  I actually learned something new today.
