Greetings, gang.
Cloudy and 22 this morning with a predicted high in the low 30s. A gradual warming trend is expected through next week. No snow or high winds for a while.
Speaking of high winds, yesterday on my drive home from Michigan I started getting really high winds in western IL. I checked the NWS site for Davenport, IA when I got home and the winds were hitting 50 mph. So, yeah, it was a little breezy. I left Michigan early enough that I only had a couple of snow showers. From Chicago on I was pretty much driving straight into the wind so I got really lousy mileage on the way home.
On tap for today is to get the car washed, pick up a bile for my grandson, and work on laundry and house cleaning. My new lady friend is coming on Sunday for a visit. Also have to clean up a snowdrift size pile of leaves outside the back door. Yard waste disposal site is closed for the season so I'll just burn them in the fire pit. Open burning is not allowed here but there's no restriction on "recreational" fires in a fire pit.
Frank - to compensate for the cold weather last week I'm sending you warm weather this week but I'm sending it in a hurry (see above about 50 mph winds).
All stay safe.
