Wonderful Warm Spell Here In The East -- Lovin' It

Record-breaking temperatures expected in the East. I don't hear anyone complaining!

Daily record highs will fall by the wayside through the weekend in the South and East.  

In fact, records for the month of January were tied Wednesday in 4 Florida cities Wednesday:

• Ft. Myers:  88
• Lakeland:  87
• Sarasota-Bradenton:  87
• Tampa:  85

But back, closer to home, they, too are apparently enjoying great temperatures: on Thursday, International Falls, MN, reached 48 degrees, beating its previous record high for the day by seven degrees.

Meanwhile, as reported yesterday, California is facing an epic cold spell; the Grapevine in southern California was closed; I don't know if it's been opened yet. I assume it has.
