Sunday featured continuous, stable cold temps with very little diurnal range (3.5° – lowest range since Jan 21, 2017 when I had a 2.9° range) due to the steady rain (1.13″) most of the day, once again barely getting over the freezing mark all day.

I always bring a coat along in case there is a car breakdown…
