Today isn't too cold. I don't mind it being overcast. Tomorrow we're expecting torrential rains and lots of wind. Should be fun.

Supposed to get up to 58 today, but with some rain. Front coming through at some point tomorrow, high of 61 but a low of 28.

Potential snow on Thursday and Friday, but looking at the long-term forecast, that should be about it for the season. At least until we get our usual surprise snow in early April.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter and Mars. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Venus.
On this date in history:
In 1681, to satisfy a debt, England's King Charles II granted a royal charter, deed and the governorship of Pennsylvania to William Penn. Penn founded Philadelphia -- the one-time capital of the United States and now the state's largest city -- a year later.

In 2022, Russian forces took control of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia.
