A Parade of Low Temperatures

Sure sorry to be late posting this. I promised it earlier, but I have been busier today than when I try to avoid speeders and tailgaters chasing my ’97 Olds going down I-459. With a list this long, it is almost certain that I will overlook a few reports. Sure don’t mean to, especially some of the Skywatcher reports. That group of folks are highly dedicated and much appreciated. Remember also that we get two reports from a number of communities and the temperatures may be a degree or so different.
