Good Morning, everyone. Here's hoping you all took advantage of the warmup in your own ways. We were relishing the fresh snow lightly crunching under our boots this morning and the mild temps because by this time tomorrow we're going to see a brief deep freeze before business picks up heading into the end of the work week.

It's already warmer out there than Skilling Central's forecast high but the winds, as they often do after a nice snowfall, will announce their presence with authoratah!! That will send the overnight lows plunging into the single digits tonight before the mercury rebounds into the teens Tuesday and Wednesday.

But take a look at that extended forecast. Don't, because that would be dumb. But it truly is a far cry from last year when we were running out of bourbon and movies to stream through our Roku.
