Yesterday, we expected sun. We didn't get it. But today, we do. Lots of it. We're starting out the morning with plenty of blue sky and it'll be around all days. It's also going to warm up a bit with highs hitting the low-to-mid 50s. But then we saw the forecast for Thursday: high of 69? Someone was toying with us. We double-checked with Skilling and, yeah, sure enough, we could see 70 degrees by the end of the week. Of course, there's a trade-off: by the weekend, highs will plummet and a chance of a rain/snow mix is in the forecast, but oh my, 70 degrees. We're swooning.
