The weather over the weekend
was nice. It was somewhat cool,
but if you got out of the wind it felt
almost like spring. The rain last
week wa.s needed, but so far we
have missed a snow. Only a few
lluines have fallen this year.
The forecast is for the
temperatures to get into the high
50' for the remainder of the week.
No rain is in the forecast.
