Before The Big Change

The scenery here was very autumn-like but weather conditions were more like spring. At the time of capture of these two images at Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 6:04 PM, Wednesday, October 24, 2012, temperatures were at 78 degrees F, dew points at 66 degrees, humidity at 67% and the wind was out of the SE at 20 mph. But things were about to change. 24 hours later temperatures were at 42 degrees, dew points at 38 degrees, and humidity at 83% due to the passing of a cold front earlier in the day. The cold front also brought about .25-inch of rain to this location. Snow fell in NW Iowa.
