Late Thursday we knew a bad line of storms were coming so we had already put everything up ... Awnings, chairs, flags, Roxy's dog bed and a few other items. It seemed like the storm line parted at the Airstream factory and other than some crazy wind, a few sprinkles ... we were in the clear. We were not so lucky this morning. The temperature was 61* when we woke-up then the rain came then more crazy wind. By lunch the temperature was 54* with a 16 mph wind and 75 % humidity .... With a real feel temp of 46* ... Brrrr. The whole afternoon was freezing cold. Lucky for us we only parked a couple of trailers but still with the constantly coming in and out of that weather it is not what this Floridian likes. As expected a few folks decided to drive in the messy, muddy field and got stuck.
A few events in the morning were either canceled or rescheduled. The best event of the day was still able to be pulled off 'The Backup Derby'. This event consisted of ten teams of 2 people (couples mostly) showing off their back'm up skills. The best time with the least errors gets the prize. As you would guess this was very entertaining. Tomorrow they will hold the couples Rivet Master competition.
The afternoon was spent trying to keep warm under my four heavy layers I scraped together. I warmed up my home made spicy sausage lentil soup for dinner ... that turned out to be perfect for the weather. The evening was finished up with the musical group Hymn For Her ... A very talented couple who do an interesting eclectic rock-a-billy grunge style of music.
Currently as we ready for bed the wind is still screaming outside my toasty Airstream. The temperature is 49* ... And I'm not sure what the real feel temp is ... Glad the heater is working. Brrrr
