The temp is up to 38° and it feels almost warm at that. We have a chance of snow over the weekend, powder snow! The chance is slight here, but perhaps. Temps will dip way down again.

Good late morning! A tax client just stopped by to leave a package of info. His wife died this past year so it was a bit sad talk8ng.
