Up and Down January

As I type, I hear rain pouring down outside. We're supposed to have warm weather today, possibly in the high sixties Fahrenheit but by the weekend the temperatures will be back in the teens.  This area gets a lot of up and down weather all year around. It has been especially noticeable this January.

 Charleston Falls, week by week, recorded the ups and downs.On January 5, we still had snow from the storm on December 26.

By January 11, the snow was gone.

It was chilly enough on January 17 that there were a few icicles hanging from the cliff walls.

And by January 24, the beautiful ice columns were forming on the falls.

But today, if I were to take a hike, the falls would be a rushing torrent.
