Most Claremonters are used to warm temperatures during the winter and this mini heat wave on the weekend will be no exception. Starting Friday we can expect high temperarures to reach 85, with lows around 55 degrees. So although some trees will look bare, the sunny weather means we can leave our jackets at home. But like most things, the warm weather will pass, and by Tuesday it’s back to temperatures hoovering around 60 degrees, with a chance of showers off an on most of the week. Definitely cold enough to produce snow in the mountains. As mentioned, we are also seeing outstanding sunsets around 5 p.m. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
