Sub-Freezing Week in Gainesville

Well, my complaints about the relative mildness of this winter here in Gainesville must have reached the “appropriate department” in such matters, for temperatures this week have plummeted to the upper teens (Fahrenheit). Highs during the daytime have peaked in the forties. But a warming period is beginning today. Of course, as is usually the case with such low temperatures this far south, there has been no precipitation to complicate matters. I’d just like a more stable range of temperatures (lows in upper thirties and highs in upper fifties to low sixties) lasting over a longer period.

Here, let me see if I can reach that “appropriate department” again.
