Good Morning, everyone. Saturday's weather was as forecast and we used it as an opportunity for a mental health day. Today it's back to a frozen millstone once the winds pick up later in the day.

Right now, it feels tolerable outside because there are no winds whipping things around to make it seem colder than it is. That will change this afternoon as the winds pick up and carry more arctic air into the area. The mercury readings will be single digits by mid-afternoon.

That sets the table for another bitter cold week of high temperature readings in the teens, but we will get to see some relief come Friday. Hang on, little tomatoes. It's only winter.
