Spring Break!

I am coming home on Friday for spring break for a week. And what a spring day it will be as temps soar well into the upper 60's. However, winds may gust past 50 MPH in the afternoon as a cold front come through. Temps over the weekend will hold in the low to mid 40's and it will be dry. Spring officially arrives at 721 PM on Sunday.

Super Moon: The moon will make its closest pass to the earth in 20 years on Saturday night. Some people believe that it causes natural disasters-including earthquakes an tsunamis. It also may cause powerful storms and rising tides along the coast. Did this have an effect on the disaster in Japan? Well, the last super moon was in 2005 right before Hurricane Katrina- and it wasn't as close as this one.
