It was another cold day, but it is getting better. The official high was 21° today, the warmest it has been since Sunday morning. It actually felt pretty nice. The normal high is still in the mid 30s so we are a long way from normal, which pretty much sums up my life. Temperatures will be staying below normal through the weekend into early next week, and it looks like we will see a little bit of snow by Saturday night and Sunday...just a little. The prospects for a bit more significant snow will be increasing early next week, but it will also be getting a bit warmer too.
A check of the weather back in the fatherland, La Crosse Wisconsin, shows that the blizzard dumped 17 inches on the River City, which was the 4th largest snowstorm ever recorded. The folks there are just dealing with it, and the number of traffic accidents was very low. That is an indication that everyone heeded the warnings to just stay home.
Tomorrow will start off with the usual Friday morning trip to the tennis club. Wednesday went pretty well! I was partnered with John in the first set, and we battled to a 7-5 victory. The second set, partnered with Tuck, was not as successful, but we fought hard and each game was competitive. That was about all we had time for. I look forward to another spirited session in the morning. After a couple of hours at the church I will be off to the wilds of Stevens County to referee a couple of basketball games at Springdale High School. I will be up late tomorrow evening as I will be picking up Kay's mom, my mother-in-law, at the train station. The train comes in at about 1:00am.
