WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Mostly sunny, a little warmer. Highs around 55.
Sorry about our recent lateness with sending out the Gazette…
Tonight: Not as bad. Lows in the mid 30s.
That last one can definitely be traced to the server going down…
Tomorrow: Even warmer still. Highs in the low 60s.
But i dunno about this one…
