Just when you thought that winter was around the corner, summer popped in for a brief farewell visit. Today on the CCSU campus, the mercury topped out at 66.6 degrees (isn't that the "devil" number, by the way?). After last night's rain and wind, the balmy temperatures this afternoon were a very pleasant change, allowing a quick cleanup of any downed tree branches. Things would have been much worse had their still been leaves on those branches. As it is, there aren't too many branches down as far as I can tell.
Now the clouds have returned and temperatures are poised to start dropping back to winter-like levels over the next 48 hours. As I write this, it's still 60 degrees on campus, but another storm is moving up the coast, and it might brush us with a few flurries on Saturday. By then the mercury will have a hard time reaching the 35-39 degree mark. One thing you can say about New England weather--it's never boring!
