Monday December 11

 

Mostly sunny this morning then turning mostly cloudy – highs in the mid-30s.

While our local weather has been cold and snowy of late, we are fortunate to not be facing the wildfires of California or even the snowfalls faced by those less prepared areas in Atlanta and London.

And, speaking of snow, it looks like Wisp has really been building up a solid base for the season as the snow guns have been on all weekend. Bring on the snow!
