Currently 50 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 50 degrees. Dew Point 38, Barometer 29.24, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:57 am, Sunset 8:27 pm.

Mostly sunny with areas of frost until about midday. High in the upper 50s. Light winds becoming W 5-10 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with widespread frost overnight. Low in the lower 30s. NW winds 5-10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Still facing some nights with frost likely. And still facing a few chilly days about next Monday/Tuesday. In spite of the cold hanging around, the flowering bushes and trees are starting to get down to business. A few flowering trees doing nicely and the forsythia is gorgeous. That sunny yellow color is enough to lift my spirits. One of the prettiest and rather humble flower of spring’s offerings. Nothing flashy or in need of much publicity, never-the-less every spring it brightens things up, promising even more to come  And it does. Soon flowers of all sorts will be joining the club to brighten up our days. After the drabness of winter, these colors wake up our senses and lighten our moods. And Lord knows, we sure do need that.
