When discussing weather, there is a lot of comparison to “average” or “normal” conditions in a given place. These represent an expected temperature, precipitation, or other value averaged over a 30-year period for […]

Our temperatures were supposed to be in the 60s today and it isn’t going to happen.  In fact, we’ll be doing good to hit 50°F.  Tomorrow is supposed to reach 80°F and I’m wondering if that will happen.  Not only […]
