Temps are rising rather nicely. Currently @ 44F. Maybe topping to near 50F today. Forecasted high was only 42F. Bust already!

Piece of advice, I would start paying attention to the models starting by end of next week. Model hugging now is a waste of time. Very inconsistent.

Currently 32F and gorgeous, crisp evening.

After six weeks of action, action, action, this 10 day stretch of zonal mild and dry is hard to take. At least it's not been the entire month. Not sure how I survived last Nov??
