Monday saw summer officially begin in the eyes of Northern Hemisphere meteorologists, despite the sky persisting with the jacket-needed mode. The real chill factor has been nasty winds. Those seem embedded for now, though we should get another fleeting glimpse of warmth this week, followed by yet another stint of shiveriness.

Maybe we’ll have better luck with steady warmth when the astronomical summer starts on June 21 at 4:24 a.m. I’ll be staying up all night as to not miss that event.
