Fooled Again

For almost a week, maybe more, we have been told by the meteorologists on various news programs from Philadelphia (including our local affiliate) that warmer weather was coming.  Like 60° kind of weather.  Philadelphia's temperatures are usually at least 5 degrees higher than ours but our paper said that by Sunday we would hit 57°.  

Now that may sound really nice to the rest of you.  Upon opening my newspaper and reading the weather page it does show 57° for Sunday.  However, it also shows rain from today through Tuesday...and maybe longer since they can only fit 5 days in their space for upcoming weather.

I know it is highly doubtful we will reach the temperatures forecast because at this time of the year when we get rain it is always cool and damp.  Always.

Yeah, I am a little disappointed.  Wouldn't you be too?

On the other hand, the good news for the day is I was able to watch winter testing at the Daytona race track earlier today.  What a glorious sight to see those cars on the track in brilliant sunshine!  With 2012 behind us, which included Dale Jr. missing two races due to his concussions, I am once again ready for the 2013 season.  Bring it on!

Great to find a fellow blogger who clearly loves cars and cats as much as I do! We have 'his' and 'hers' classic (and heavily modified) Marcos GTs. We'll have to wait a couple more months before the season starts in England. Blame the grotty weather! Jx

MarkD60 ~ Oh but how I wish we could just pick up and go where it's warm but there are so many things preventing us from doing that. And so I dream...
