An early morning drive across Saddle Road almost always offers up some neat vistas and views. As it was for Bobby Command who traveled early Monday, March 2 from Kona to Hilo.

“This is a fence along the base at Pohakuloa Training Area next to Bradshaw Army Air Field. I don’t know if it was freezing, but it was close to it at 7 a.m. The frost disappeared when the sun came up,” Command said. “I took a photo before I touched the railing and then after, to show it was not just the color of the railing. I wanted to take a few more photos, but it was too cold for shorts and slippers.”

The low temperature at Bradshaw Army Air Field was 35 for the day — 3 degrees above actual freezing and 1 degree below dew point. The record temperature for March 2 was 30 degrees back in 2005, which is really too cold for shorts and slippers.
