Baby, It's Cold Outside

It was so cold with the wind yesterday that I finally capitulated to my son's request to turn on the heater. I'm so glad I did; when I awoke this morning, our temperature gauge stated that the temperature on our front porch was 36.9 degrees! Brrr. According to this article in the AZ Republic, the cold weather will be moving on:

While much of Arizona awoke this morning to a freeze warning, the cold weather is expected to be short-lived.

The warning will remain in effect in much of the state through midmorning today, following a night with temperatures forecast in the 20s and 30s. The cold air flowed in behind the first major cold front of the year as it moved through the state early Sunday morning.

Lows at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were expected to be in the upper 30s Sunday night, but the surrounding cities to the west, east and north were all expected to see below-freezing temperatures. The entire Tucson area was also expected to be in a deep freeze.

A high of just 62 degrees is predicted today in Phoenix, but warmer weather will return as the week progresses, with highs again in the low-70s by midweek.
