Weather.com ten-day outlook for NYC shows highs of 43, 42 and 42 for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week during the NAIS conference. Lows 32, 29, 25, showers, showers, sunny. Of course, this could all change, but for those of us travelling from points south, west and north, it's something to begin planning around.

We'll be coming from 73,72, 73 - same days next week in Tucson. 49, 54, 59 in Atlanta and 17,19, 27 in our fair cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul on the 27, 28 and 29 of February.  

The forecast is significant for those of us who expect to be pounding the pavement between the Hilton, the Sheraton and Radio City Music Hall. Boy, that sounds good - Radio City Music Hall. Last time I was in that building I was maybe five years old staring up at a mile of Rockette legs. Inspiried idea on the part of NAIS to hold events in that historic space.

Dress warmly and look for over 6,000 independent school people, badges flapping in the mid-town rain and wind.
