Awesome spring weekend!

Well it looks like spring is finally showing it's beautiful face.  This weekend has been two days of relatively clear skies and warm spring like weather.  Temperature now around 4PM is 66 degrees which feels wonderful!  The forecast for the rest of the week is also looking up with clear skies and consistent upper 50's being estimated. 

You might ask why would anyone care about this?  Well it does tie into a little blurb I read in a local magazine.  Here is what it said:  "If Shanghai's seemed especially gloomy these past few weeks, it's not your imagination.  While we've enjoyed some sun recently, the spell of showers starting in February was the longest in more than 30 years.  The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau reports that in the second half of February, Shanghai got less than five hours of sunshine TOTAL, the lowest amount since 1972."

I'm just glad to have read that and found some proof for what I had been feeling, it certainly made it tough for a while to be in good spirits when we never saw the sun.
