George Washington could not tell a lie, or so it's been told, so we wonder what he would have said about today's weather forecast. Would he grouse about the clouds and rain or take comfort in the mild temperatures and heavy winds. We're due for overcast skies today with rain and gusts reaching up to 45 mph and a high in the mid-40s, before the winds shift to the northwest, the rain turns to snow and the mercury drops to below freezing, possibly single digits, overnight.

We cannot tell a lie: This roller coaster weather can be frustrating.
