It felt great out there today. Like a recharge, the sunshine was a big deal after days and days of clouds. Temperatures were on the warm side of the forecast, with highs around 70 this afternoon. That’s still a little below normal but better than it has been. Coming off a frosty start, some places jumped 35 degrees or so!
