I can promise you today’s forecast will deliver far better than the Edmonton Oilers did last night. Yeesh. Stayed up late just to watch that disaster.

Thankfully, the forecast is far less doom and gloom than that Oilers debut with forecasters calling for a return to sunny skies and temperatures well above normal. And that pattern should hold firm over the next five days or so, which should make for a decent weekend as we prepare for the season that shall not be named (and I’m not talking about hockey season).
