Good morning, Nashville, and happy Valentine’s Day if you’re into that sort of thing! One thing we can all be into is the beautiful spring weather we get to enjoy this week. Temperatures will hit the upper-50s this week and possibly climb to 70 by Thursday. Hard to believe we were all sitting in the blizzard traffic jam from hell less than a week ago, right? Since it’s still only February, we’re probably not quite out of the wintry woods yet but we’ll certainly take it. And if all this warm weather and sunshine puts you in the mood to get married today, remember that the Belmont Mansion has you covered.

- Bits & pieces. Surprise! The TVA is raising our rates again … Congrats to Lady Antebellum and all the other folks who represented Nashville well at the Grammys last night … A 26-year old Centennial High School grad had a front row seat to the Egyptian revolution … A group of Tennessee lawmakers are continuing to work on passing an Arizona-like immigration reform here in Tennessee.
