A belated woo-hoo! to the Carrboro Farmers’ Market for being listed among the top markets in the country in Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food. Carrboro shared ink with markets in the somewhat larger towns of New York, San Francisco and Seattle.

Not even close to the record
On this date in 1954, it was 11 degrees.
Two years later, another record was set — this time for the warmest — when temps hit 77.

It’ll warm all the way up to 33, but still feel cold thanks to a stiff wind.
Via the NWS:
Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 33. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
