It’s starting to feel like winter around here. After experiencing 80 degree temperatures last week, we’re headed for an overnight low of 24 tonight. The good news in all of this is that: (1) it finally rained yesterday, and (2) the rain was gone before the temperatures took a nosedive. I’m sure it’ll be a bit icy in spots tonight, but nothing like it could’ve been had it turned cold yesterday.
