Unseasonable Warmth In The Ville


Here's a sight that anyone familiar with the ville will recognize. What we're not familiar with is the temperature shown here for this late date in December in this river valley village.


According to today's papers 68 degrees was the high for yesterday. The record high was 70 degrees set in 1904. Although it didn't set a record it did get rid of all the snow and ice that was lingering in spots that don't get much sunshine. Today's breezes are helping dry out those spots.


This brief respite from the winter chills comes especially timely for me with having younger smart alec relatives that like to rub it in with their warmer weather in the temperate climes they live in. Ma Nature helped ease the burden of pain inflicted by his idea of humor and got me back to the belief that life is good in Wellsville. It was in the twenties when we were talking to them on Christmas Day. Thanks Ma.


It's not lasting long but that is to be expected. Today started out for me at 7 A.M. and 61 degrees. Then a cold front blew through and it started dropping. It is now 43 degrees at 3:30 this afternoon. We're suppose to get back to more seasonable temperatures as the week progresses.


Nice weather. My Steelers thumping the Browns. It don't get much better!
