CHECK OUT OUR PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM -

Spring is in the air...or is it Summer?

Sunday's high was 64 degrees, besting the all time record by four degrees. Record low for Jan. 22 is minus 9 in Ada.

Here, Samantha Loomis steers a convertible into a parking lot on campus. Top down cars are seldom found around here in January.

The camera caught runners running, a kid hover boarding, a pickup game of basketball, one of many motorcycles headed through town, and more. People were sure enjoying the great outdoors with the sunshine and warmth.
