Give us another!




Hey, YOU may not appreciate these mashups I do of different month names, but I'm
taking a pretty big risk here. Someday, one of these Franken-months I dream up
is going to end up being a curse word in a different language.

Like, "Oh, go jarch yourself!" or "Argh, my back hurts like jarch!" or "You
bought Strawberry Pop-Tarts? You apruary!"

Anyway, after that Pulitzer-winning opening, I have little time to Tick, but we
have to Tock about those temps yesterday.



Are you kidding me? And with all that sunshine and light winds? Yesterday's
statewide average high of 69.2F was the highest of the month (and year) thus far,
a massive jump from the 8.9F we suffered through back on Jan. 14.



Also the warmest day we've seen in the state since Dec. 7's 70.2F. Did you know
that? Did you want to know? Well now you do.

Changes are coming this weekend, as we said yesterday. Nothing too bad, just
some rain and back to more seasonable temps.







Hard to believe, but some apruaries like that cooler weather better than what
we saw yesterday.

What? Jarch me? No, JARCH YOU!
