George Washington was born on this date in 1732. Our nation no longer celebrates his birthday as a holiday as it did many years ago, so I thought I’d give him his due. Happy Birthday, George! Cloudy skies for you!

I cannot tell a lie!  It will be seasonably cooler today with highs falling into the 50’s under cloudy skies. There is a slim chance for scattered showers, mainly this afternoon and evening.  Temperatures should bottom out in the low 40’s tonight.

Yesterday’s high of 77 degrees set a record in Salisbury, much to the delight of most folks.  While that is not likely to happen again anytime soon we will see February end with temperatures well above normal.  As of this morning, temperatures in Salisbury are running 7.1 degrees above normal for February.
