Temperatures today and tomorrow will be a couple degrees above normal for mid-January with highs in the mid to upper 40's. Clouds increase later today and tomorrow with a chance of rain tomorrow evening changing to snow around midnight before ending toward Thursday morning. Any accumulations look light, but we will need to keep an eye out for some potential Thursday morning rush hour impacts. Highs on both Thursday and Friday will remain in the 20's. Below normal temperatures appear likely for much of the next week with lows next week in the single digits possible for some areas.

Haha! pretty much. I did practice yesterday afternoon. One last time before surgery. I put on my knee brace and hoped for the best. I can't push off or do my normal 5 step delivery. As soon as I step on the approach I have to walk continuously to the foul line. It can be a challenge to get my timing correct due to it. Both lanes (13-14) played very different and I had to use two different balls on two different lines. I put together a decent 4 game block of 970(242.5 average). 234, 246(10 strikes 2 splits), 245 and another 245. I'm definitely feeling it now both legs are just shot. Oh well I don't regret it.

I think we're due! Lol

Here's a thought. Since 2003, if the 49ers made the playoffs, they always made the championship game. (2003-2010, no playoffs. Why not start at 2011? lol)
