DHTWN REMINDER:
There’s a lot of to be distraught about these days, but life goes on, keeps moving, flowing, and willing itself onward. We’re a manifestation and part of that life force, but it goes way beyond us and we’re lucky to be a part of it, even if things aren’t going well. Remember, there’s always a chance things might improve. If you’re struggling, I hope things go better for you today, and I say stay open to the chance that they will – the mind craves certainty, so let’s try to stay open.

MORNING DISCUSSION
Good morning folks, did you get any frost this morning? I hope your plants and veg and flowers made it through, obviously there will be some casualties I imagine.

As for our weather going forward, I do not foresee (at the moment) any additional such cold blasts as the one that has settled over the region this morning.

We have one bit of rainfall coming Saturday and Saturday night, and we could squeeze out about a half an inch of rain or so from that system, with heavier amounts the further east you go where the best moisture and dynamics will combine on Saturday night.

Sunday will be the pick of the weekend for sure, with some morning showers and clouds early, followed by developing sunshine.

Otherwise, we’ve got lots more fair weather on the way with upper 60s and 70s Sunday through Tuesday, and as high pressure crests through, we could warm well into the 70s by mid to late next week, but I will keep you updated as we get closer.

I hope you have a great day and that things go your way!

BE KIND
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
