Skies are clear early on this Monday morning and with calm winds there is a rather large range of temperatures with the upper 40s here in Clifton to the mid 30s in some of the inland valleys but some spots in Northern New Jersey are in the low-mid 50s.

Ah memories … we were in Garfield in 1976 and Shari had decided to cook her first Easter ham dinner … rather warm in the kitchen that day !!!! … it was quite a few years later before she ever made a ham dinner (or anything baked) for Easter again
