Dropping 20+F or more in a couple of hours is not out of the ordinary around here in any time of year.
In the last 30 days, we have gone 60F to -15F back to 60F over 5 days. Lots of places have the "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change". Few places I've been will whipsaw you like Colorado Front Range weather.
Today is a prime example of my stupid psychotic state. The day started in the low 20s. By 1000, the temperature had hit 60. By 1500 the temperature was 70F. It was 75F by the time I got home about 30 minutes later (nice tailwind). At 1630, the temperature tumbled to 30F. My Lake boots would have very nice for that. At 75F they were a little...um...sweaty.
