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, there’s always a chance things might improve. If you’re struggling, I hope things go better for you today.

MORNING DISCUSSION
Good morning everybody, there’s really not much need for discussion today that isn’t handled in the weekly nutshell and daily zone forecasts found above, as our weather is generally tranquil at the moment, thankfully.

The main thing to watch for is potential for isolated frost late Tuesday night into early Wednesday when some towns in northern MA may drop down to the freezing mark. There’s some isolated frost potential tonight, but my main concern is for very early Wednesday morning.

I will update you tomorrow morning on this, and will poke my head in tonight if early tomorrow/Tuesday morning shows signs of getting colder as well.

I hope you have a great day, and I hope 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
