WEATHER
We’ll see more rain tomorrow than today, so you might get a good chance to enjoy the warm weather we’re going to have…a high in the low 60’s. It looks like Spring just pushed her way through the door and pushed Winter right out…that’s a #GoodThing! Tomorrow will be a little warmer, but very wet. Do you have your boots ready? My driveway is a squishy mess.
