Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and thanks for checking out my blog.  I have returned home from College in Plymouth, and I am looking forward to a relaxing holiday with my family. Thanksgiving will be a dry day, although it will be seasonably cold. Clouds will increase in the afternoon ahead of our next storm. Precip may start as a brief period of sleet around midnight, but change to rain by dawn. No accumulation is expected, and roads will be just wet for shopping. This weekend will remain cold, along with a gusty wind on Saturday.
