C...C...C...COLD OUT THERE!
Enrique Reyna, 29, of The Dalles takes a quick corner with a zeor-turn Kubota mower this morning, April 5, as winds and light rain blasted from the west at Thompson Track. Temperatures were in the high 30s and apparently much colder atop the Columbia Hills above Dallesport as you can see they were capped with some white stuff in the last 24 hours.
When asked how he decided what clothes to wear this morning, Reyna, a groundskeeper with School District 21, said the question was really, “Should I go to work,” he said laughing.
He did.
And it looks like he landed on some insulated pants.
High winds in the last day also helped remove some deadwood. Just to the south of Thompson Track, this dead poplar succumbed to gravity after high winds hit The Dalles.
Forecasters are calling for a change in the weather in the next few days with temperatures climbing back into the 60’s and possibly 70’s on Wednesday and Thursday, April 6 and 7, respectively.
