27 at 5 pm and headed toward 5 GEM, 18 GFS and 20 ECM............

Some of my HS students said their thermometers at home and in their cars said 9 or 10 degrees that morning.  My heat pump’s online temp said it was 14 when I checked around 8:00am that morning.  Was driving an old truck instead of my car so I didn’t have the temp displayed in my own vehicle

Sun is out now, an unusual occurrence this week. Temps are climbing into the adequate range as well. Approval stamped.

today was quite pleasant.

that is the nice thing about here compared to being even not that much further north (Philly/NY) - the cold never lasts that long.

Was heading home from NOVA tonight. While the sunset to the West was beautiful, the view going East was amazing! It looked like cotton candy.

I was on a walk with a friend tonight at dusk and commented that tonight was a Charlie Brown sunset.

Yea, and often times when I view the satellite imagery, it seems like there's an endless stream of clouds through the upper Midwest to northeast.  I don't think I'd like that very much.  I could see myself retiring in New England, but probably only when my basketball days and maybe even mountain biking days are over, though the idea of summer biking up there and not having to chase a nor'easter is intriguing.
