K.. it is 61 degrees F today on january 10th of 2026 at 11am. It is wet. We have had some huge booms of thunder. It feels warm, but there is this light, cool breeze and it is making me shiver a bit. Im bundled in a sweatshirt and long sleeve shirt with long pants and it is nippy. K. Mary is in knoxville and heading to fontana so we will have some pics and videos on the weather up there. Thanks everyone for being awesome. I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. One love. Peace | Donald
