Warm Day Today

From the main page of the National Weather Service:

A warm Easter Sunday is expected for a large portion of the contiguous U.S. Temperatures will be well above average from the Southwest and Great Basin to much of the Midwest and spreading into the East. In fact, a number of record highs are possible from the Southwest to the northern Plains. 

Yep! We're expected to reach 75° today in Jamestown, New Mexico. It is around 40° outside presently.

I will likely celebrate Easter and today's weather by taking my first drive into Six Mile Canyon of the season.
