We have this saying in the Texas Panhandle.<\/p>\n

It goes like this: If you don’t like the weather, just wait 10 minutes. You can add whatever time frame you’d like. I prefer the 10-minute reference, because it just sounds kinda cool.<\/p>\n

We say this to each other just to remind ourselves of how quickly the weather changes in this part of the country. Man, does it ever! In a hurry, too!<\/p>\n

Well, the weather forecasters are telling us something really strange. The high temperature in Amarillo on Friday is going to hit 70 degrees<\/em>, give or\u00a0take a degree or two. Oh yes, the warm temps will be accompanied by heavy wind. Not just wind<\/em>, mind you, but the nasty gale-force blow.<\/p>\n

After that? The bottom falls out! The high Saturday will be 40ish. The low will be\u00a0— gulp!<\/em> — 5 degrees.<\/p>\n

The temp will decline even more on Sunday.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. Late summer-like temperatures on Friday. Then comes the deep freeze on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Oh, I almost forgot. We’re going to get our first snow of the season.<\/p>\n

Just think: Winter doesn’t even arrive until next week.<\/p>\n\n
