Overcast , with a high of 37 and low of 22 degrees. Overcast during the morning, clear overnight.
Would also love to see that little bit of Ellsworth between AA Saline Road and Maple paved. Not sure why that continues to be a bumpy, messy, awful dirt sliver of a road. New traffic lights were installed in 2025 with new pattern seemingly acknowledging "volume" through that intersection.
