Better Weather For The Weekend

I took this picture a couple of years ago up at Fall Creek Falls State Park. Sometimes people miss opportunities to take a walk in the woods because it's late Fall or Winter. But to be honest, this is some of the best hiking weather of the year. Yes, you have to bundle up a bit. (Especially today.) But when the trees and brush are bare, the vistas open up. And mosquitoes and flies won't be literally bugging you constantly. And after a nice rain like we had yesterday the area waterfalls present nice photo opportunities. I have a book at home that features area waterfall hikes. One day I'll make it to all the locations listed between the covers. I found a great website that's worth checking out if you're looking for some waterfall walks:

Today will be quite chilly with highs struggling to get back into the upper 30s and low 40s across the area. And we'll have brisk north winds at 10 to 20 mph during the first half of today making it feel even colder.
By morning we'll have frosty windshields to deal with as lows in the city drop to around 22, outlying areas will dip into the teens.
Southwest winds help boost temps into the upper 40s to low 50s Saturday afternoon.
Sunday we'll start off with partly cloudy skies, and then see a few more clouds late in the day as another clipper system passes us by to our north.
Next week starts off cooler than normal with very little chance for any precipitation.
Have a great weekend. And if you get a chance, take a hike.
