We were going to go out today but the sun never showed itself and I had a few things I needed to get done around here, so likely will be out tomorrow. Supposed to be fairly nice all week with slight chances of rain and a couple days in the 60's

I've heard tales that July 4th 1952 there were flurries here but weather records don't reflect it.
