Today will see showers ending this morning then clearing. Fog patches that developed overnight dissipating this morning. Today's high will be 12C(54F). UV index 5 or moderate.
Tonight will bring increasing cloudiness with a 30% of showers overnight as the temp drops to 3C(37F).

I became a grandpa again for the 9th time. The youngest away from homw daughter presented me with a new grandson. The doctors induced the little one to greet the world a month early but he was still a healthy 8lb. 9 oz fellow. She has a history of giving birth to big babies as the last 2 were over 10 lbs so the doctors thought it was time before either her or the were injured in the birthing process.

Congratulations on the newest member of the family. Happy to hear that the birth went well and even at 8 lbs 9 oz, this boy will be playing football and hockey before you know it...I am sure both of you are pleased as pie knowing all is well with this grandboy. Looking forward to pics later....

Overcast with a threat of rain today again but temps up in the mid to high 70s are not to cry about...Whoooo Hoooo....

Off to grocery shop now for a bit so have yourselves a bodacious day.

Congratulations! What an exciting bit of news! Glad to hear all are doing well - we'll certainly look forward to the photos.

It looks like you're going to end with a decent day - maybe good gopher hunting weather?

Good Afternoon, Tony!

A hearty congrats on the birth of your new grandson! Glad all went well with mom and baby. Hope you'll get to see them in person sometime in the not too distant future.

Our weather week continues to be rather raw, gloomy and rainy, but the weeks ahead should improve given that it's only the first week in May and not November. These past few weeks, it's been hard to know which season we're in, given our recently abnormal summer-like high reaching 91F mid-April and then back down to 45F as of yesterday.

Again, congrats to you and yours and hope there's nothing but continued joyous news ahead!
