This morning (as I type) it's 33ºF/1ºC with a high expected today of 
60ºF/15.5ºC. The next week is expected to  to be low to mid 70s for the
high temps. Still no "killing frost" which many of our native trees and
plants require in t6heir life cycles.

Well, you had a visit from the big winds, didn't you?

I used to live in an area of this state known as "tornado alley" so I
know a tinh or two about high winds. In fact the high school sports 
teams were named the "Tornadoes".   Bv)=
