It's the weekend.....so it will be stormy

This morning's weather photo.

Windy and cold here yesterday.The temp reached 10° on my backyard thermometer but the windchill was quite noticeable.Overnight the winds finally died out and the temp dropped to a couple of degrees below freezing.
Nice and clear this morning but that will be changing soon.Since it's Friday,our regular weekly weekend storm is on the way.It looks like it will be a cloudy and rainy weekend on the South Shore.At least the temperature will be seasonable.
