It's been a rollercoaster week here in central Pennsylvania, temperature-wise. After sub-freezing temperatures Sunday morning when we arrived it warmed up to 80°+ (~27° C) on Tuesday. Then Wednesday and Thursday it was back to highs in the 50s. Yesterday was supposed to be another day like that but it surprisingly warmed to 68° (20C) in the afternoon. Today we've got a forecast high of 82°. The almanac says that's 25° above the average. It's as if the heat wave we had in California a few weeks ago is here now. Except this wave has a crest and trough every few days.
Update: When I was out at 2:30pm the mercury registered 86° F (30 C). And the forecast for tomorrow shows a high of just 62.
Update 2: The next day, Sunday, temperatures maxed out at 56°. I think that high may have occurred at 12:01am.
