How cold did it get at your place overnight? On my wilderness hilltop in Jefferson County, the home weather station read -17.1 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:30 this morning. Mercifully, the wind was not blowing, making it merely a miserable icebox, rather than an insufferable one. Silver linings!
The weather or indifference borne of collective Wildcatland misery must have ground poor Kellis Robinett down, because he has published no K-State articles since Saturday. Of course, maybe he’s been swept up in the Southwest Power Pool’s rolling blackouts fiasco that has numerous plains dwellers suffering through rolling 30 to 60-minute outages.
