Who turned off the heat?!

After near 90 degrees and 85% relative humidity yesterday that made sweat pour off your brow if you even thought about doing anything physical, a swift moving cold front with attendant T-storms swept through here last evening and lowered everything. The line of storms had a few very intense cells and a couple of gaps. One of the biggest cells moved through the Elmira-to-Ithaca corridor along Route 13 and I figure those folks got hammered for about the third or fourth day in a row. Meanwhile, the Aerie was lined up with one of the gaps and we got just 1/10th of an inch of rain. There was a nice light show to the north of us, however.

This morning we awoke to 60 degrees and about 50% humidity--very comfortable. It's supposed to be like this for two days and then get slightly warmer for a day or two before getting positively cold on Thursday after another front moves through. (The Weather Channel forecasts a low Thursday night of 48 degrees and highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of just 71-72. Bring it on!
