Back in my day. All right, let's see where the forecast is headed. As we go into the weekend, we've got rain. We have wind and a lot of it. Now, the timing of it is going to be critical. Most of the storminess that we're anticipating for Sunday is going to happen very late Sunday night into early Monday morning, the weekend is salvageable. Saturday is great and warm. We just see a little bit more cloud coverage. The first part of Sunday, up until about maybe three, four o'clock in the afternoon should be dry. Then the showers start and become steadier and heavier when all is said and done. We're likely going to pick up between 1 to 2 inches of rain in our rain gauges and a lot of that is going to happen very quickly and then the winds are picking up also. So it's a wind driven rain and if we do approach wind gusts of 4045 maybe even 50 miles an hour and it lasts for a couple of hours occasionally hitting those gusts, not, it's not gonna be a 34 hour sustained 40 or 50 mile an hour. Wind gust, it's periodically happening, but that's the type of wind that could get the power to flicker from time to time. We're at 39 dropping down to about 32. The opportunity for rain is going to be Sunday night into Monday morning, Saturday is looking great. Sunday afternoon is ok. It's cloudy but you'll be able to feel it in the air that the rain is certainly going to be building. So for tonight, temperatures, twenties and thirties with just a few clouds around Friday is gorgeous with sunshine. Temperatures are back up into the upper forties. We look at the extended forecast and as I mentioned, Saturday is warm but clouds are building Sunday morning, early Sunday afternoon, cloudy dry that changes going into Sunday night into early Monday morning. Give yourself a lot of extra time in that Monday morning routine to potentially deal with some travel headaches, getting wherever you go, the rain and the wind are gone for next week, the sunshine is back out but the cold that returns with morning lows in the twenties and thirties, daytime highs in the lower forties.

It is so peaceful and beautiful here and take a look at that gorgeous view right in front of Crystal Springs Resort. Let's go inside and see what they offer. We're New York City's closest resort and we're the largest golf spa and culinary resort in the northeast. Welcome to Grand Cascades Lodge, Michelle. I love these fires, concerts. This whole vibe. Yes. Let's take it in what makes us unique in one regard is our location. You could go on a nature hike outside around the property just up the street is Mountain Creek where you can go skiing and snowboarding. We're so close and it's so easy to get here for a quick getaway. We have 270 rooms in the hotel. We have a large clubhouse with a lot of meeting and banquet space as well as three golf courses and a spa. This area is called Reflection of the Spa, but I, I feel like I'm walking into a disco club. Take a look at the crystals of the ceiling, whether you want a couples retreat or whether you want a family getaway. We have dozens of activities that you can enjoy indoor. Like yoga and fitness classes in our wellness center, paint and s for the big kids and for the little kids, you know, stuff, the animal built decorate your own mini Christmas tree. We have a very diverse set of audiences is really unique and special space. It's the first of its kind in the US. Welcome to our beautiful tropical biosphere pool. I love this right here on a cold all day in New Jersey. This is where we are. This was just going to be your ordinary backup hotel pool. But our owner was a true visionary and he said this cannot be an ordinary pool. We have to go above and beyond and he did, he did we have tropical plants that we can grow. It's included citrus and palm, got water slide. It's got steam and sauna. It's got hot tub, it's got slim under outdoor heated snow pools, pools pool because in the depth of winter when it's freezing, you can be in this very warm pool with your hot chocolate or cocktail and it's just a really relaxing. Don't we look adorable sitting on this truck, Michelle? Well, Della, I had to bring you out to our Crystal Springs Resort Blue show truck which we dress up for the seasons. But I love this beautiful area over here. Well, this is our 18 hole natural grass cutting course. And let me tell you this is not your father's mini golf course, 18 holes along the soothing water and in the background, you have the ever present kitty Titty Mountains which are unparalleled in the northern part of the state. This is our wine cellar of restaurant la tour. It's really our crown jewel of the resort. The wine cellar is considered one of the best wine cellars in the world. We have 45,000 bottles here in nine interconnected chambers and a variety of global wines. Our owner and founder Gene Mulvihill, he believed that wine should be enjoyed by everyone. So even though you have really high bottles here, they're all very reasonably priced. The great thing is you could come here four times and have four totally different experiences because depending upon the time of year, we always have something different to do. You get a world class experience starting with the accommodations and you get a very broad offering of experiences whether you're a family or whether you're coming as a couple.
