Yesterday was a very fine day weather wise, lots of blue sky and a feel good spring day. Temperatures dipped to around freezing level overnight but it has quickly warmed up this morning and it's close to 15 degrees now as of 10am. The forecast predicts a high of over 20 degrees today down in the village, so it's going to be a warm day.

Mostly cloudy over the mountains but clearer and with blue skies over the village and to the east. Perhaps the clouds will disperse as yesterday.

Tomorrow there's a chance of rain and it likely won't be quite as warm.
