I think I'm gonna have to reincarnate one more time just so I can become a meteorologist or climatologist. I love reading about this kind of phenomena. But somehow this post got mixed up with some other posts. And suddenly I was thinking of different posters as microclimates. Will leave the rest to respective imaginations. PS FWIW, noozG, I wonder if that hygienist wasn't flirting with you a bit...

Yup, at around 6 AM the temperate was 46 degrees. We've had overcast and even little rain on Weds. The sky was clear this morning so it was colder. This prompted me to dress heavier for my walk at the waterfront park. Bad idea. I was overdressed and shorts and t-shirt would have worked fine. In fact I removed my warmup jacket after the walk to enjoy the sunny patio at Starbucks. One never knows whether to trust the reported temperature or not. It can go both ways: warm at the house and cold at the waterfront park or vice versa. I've been walking in the neighborhood the last few days and even with a warm-up suit it was a little chilly. This afternoon it should hit the high 70s.
