Well, it's homeschool quiz time. Can anyone tell me what THIS means:

Well, the date is today: 2/5/11 and the time is in GMT -- 1:53 pm, Eastern time. KDAB is the local weather station: Daytona Beach. Hmm. What else does it say? Southwest wind, 13 knots, gusting to 20 knots, 20 miles of visibility, broken clouds at 3600 feet, 5000 feet, and 1500 feet. BUT whatever could 26/17 mean? 79 degrees with a dew point of 63? Oh yeah...
;)
UPDATE: The weather changed -- it rained and dropped 10 degrees! Looks like I posted just in time!

By 3:53, we had southwest wind at 8 knots, light rain, overcast, 70 degrees with a dewpoint of 66 degrees. If you don't like the weather (or even if you do) -- stick around, and it'll change...
