Cool and windy today with temperatures falling to a high of only plus 4. A weak front could produce some rain / flurries for late tonight and into Saturday. No accumulation expected. For Saturday, a mix of sun and cloud – again just a chance of some flurries early. Should remain dry but breezy for the Santa Parade. We start to see some ugly weather develop Sunday. Rain / Snow with no accumulation . Next week, we get a blast of arctic air!

When she went back to get it, it was gone. “I had never seen anyone hurt by a thing other than death or unbearable suffering except Hadley when she told me about the things being gone,” Hemingway wrote in A Moveable Feast.
