It’s extremely hot,<\/h3>\n

extremely cold,<\/h3>\n

and wildly windy.<\/h3>\n

It’s those extremes I love.<\/h3>\n

130’s!<\/span><\/h2>\n

(Fahrenheit – in the shade – According to our thermometers)<\/h4>\n

That’s rare – though 120’s are common.<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Low Winter temp at our studio”]<\/p>\n

30’s<\/span><\/h2>\n

(Fahrenheit – in the shade – According to our thermometers)<\/h4>\n

Add wind that can blow you over, and it gets pretty cold,<\/p>\n

of course, that’s nothing like the North East – that’s why so many “Snow Birds” winter here!<\/h4>\n
