Things can change dramatically over three consecutive days at our waterfall. Thursday the temperatures rose a little above freezing reaching the mid-30s F. Then came heavy rain on Friday with a high of 48F, clearing on Saturday with temperatures dropping rapidly to below freezing within hours. Now we’re back to frigid temperatures in the teens. The vagaries of winter.
