Winter?

After a week of bizarrely fluctuating temperatures, Saturday morning started out foggy and rainy, with flood warnings. No matter: after a delicious breakfast at Hood's, and plenty of their steaming coffee, we were ready for running errands all over town. For a short while around lunchtime we heard thunder -- how strange was that in January! -- and the thermometer shot up to almost 60 degrees, only a few days after the single-digit cold. I was too warm in my ubiquitous fleece pullover and I actually saw a man at Wal-Mart in shorts and sandals.
