Good morning. A cold start this morning with the thermometer at the Man Cave reading 35 degrees outside under mostly sunny skies. You can hear the wind roaring around this morning with winds speeding along at 15 mph with gusts around 25. There is a dusting of snow on the ground from last night when the temperature reached only about 32.

The rest of the day will be sunny but very cold for early April. 36 degrees is high for the day. 18 degrees below normal for the high. Very windy this afternoon with sustained winds around 30 mph and gusts up to 55 mph. High wind warning. The wind may get a speeding ticket today. Hold on to your steering wheel when venturing out today. The wind chill will be between 18 and 20 degrees most of the day.

At 7 pm we expect temperatures to drop to 31 degrees under Partly Cloudy skies. Blustery evening with sustained winds around 30 mph and gusts up to 55 mph. Sunset tonight at 7:24 pm with darkness around 7:53 for 12 hours and 53 minutes of daylight. Going to be a cold one for sure.

Going to be a cold week all week. Thursday will reach 53 degrees and rainy but that’s still 2 degrees below normal, and the rest of the days will be 10-15 degrees below normal with highs in the 30s and 40s.

Today in 2000, Microsoft is ruled to have violated United States antitrust law by keeping “an oppressive thumb” on its competitors. Ten years later in 2010, Apple releases the iPad. Apparently Microsoft’s dominance wasn’t that powerful.

Not going to do much outside stuff today due to the frigid conditions. Probably do some cleaning and some coding and/or mapping this afternoon. Going out to mom and dad’s house for Sunday dinner later this afternoon.
