WARM WEATHER!

24th Apr 2007

Yesterday we broke the record high for the day! (The record was 83 degrees in 2001) Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny 85 degrees out! The average high for April 23^rd here in Clifton Park is 61 degrees and the average low is 38. The heat was a nice break from the snow and freezing rain we have been getting. The weather is supposed to stay nice the rest of the week, but no more 80 degree days.

Hope you are all getting some nice weather too. Watch out for the thunderstorms and tornados expecting to hit the Midwest today!

YouTube Video

One of the guys at VT has no a *lot* of free time apparently. Check out his youtube video about ViaTalk. If people show some interest we may do some sort of contest with VT youtube videos.
