"Temperatures are falling like a rock," National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Boyne said about 5 p.m. yesterday. His warning for much of Lower vichigan: "Whatever the tempera- ture's going to be at midnight tonight is going to be the high for (today), and I couldn't even venture a guess what that's going to be." How swiftly - and dramatically - things change. An upper-level trough that pulled warm air from the Gulf of Mexico into the Great Lakes region translated into record highs in several Michigan cities yesterday, some posting their warmest February day ever. Detroit's high was 70, nine degrees balmier than the previous record for that day set in 1932. The Motor City's high yesterday also eclipsed the high for any day for the month -68 set on Feb. 26, 1944. For Detroit, Boyne said, "it was the earliest 70 ever, going back to March 7, 1987." Such was the story in Flint, where yesterday's high of 67 shattered the day's old record of 42 in 1966 while posting the warmest February day since the city began keeping such records in 1942. The old record for the month was 63 on Feb. 23, 1984. Grand Rapids reported a high yes- terday of 68 degrees, four degrees warmer than the day's old record set in 1932. And in Alpena, temperatures rose as high as 54 on yesterday, breaking the city's old record of 42 in 1984. Benton Harbor weighed in yester- day at 71, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo 70 a piece and Lansing at 69. Generally in northern Lower Michigan, yesterday's highs were in the upper 40s, low 54s, a far cry from typical temperatures there of the upper 20s this time of year, said Brian Adam, a weather service mete- orologist in Gaylord. While Michigan perhaps warmed to the rising mercury, Boyne said the balminess would be short-lived. "If you don't enjoy the next couple of hours, bye-bye," he said. By yesterday evening, conditions in parts of Michigan already were turning testier, with the weather ser- vice warning northern Lower Michigan of foul, scattered thunder- storms headed its way. Some the storms were expected to pack winds gusting to 60 mph, heavy downpours and lightning. Lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior were under a gale warning effect yester- day night that was expected to last until today. That could make conditions on already thin ice even more dangerous by shifting ice around. "There is no such thing as safe ice because conditions change so rapid- ly," U.S. Coast Guard Group Detroit Chief Kenneth Andera told The Bay City Times. To Boyne, the dramatic change was part of a squall line racing toward Michigan, bringing with it the poten- tial of a shivering mix of snow, sleet and plunging temperatures for much of Lower Michigan today. It's gonna get pretty messy,' Adam said. Yesterday's record setting weather: Detroit's high temperature of 70 degrees breaks record dating to 1932. a Flint's high of 67 degrees surpasses a 42 degree record set in 1966. 15 year-old Alpena record temperature broken with 54 degree high. m Grand Rapids shatters record from 1932 with a 68 degree recording.

Clinton to address nation Snippin' some love VOTE Continued from Page 1 Senate returns to regular legislative session, they will make a arliamentary move aimed at forcing a vote on their resolu- tion to censure Clinton, but Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah), one of the GOP's few censure supporters, said it would fail. More likely, Democrats say, is the inclusion in the Congressional Record of a statement rebuking Clinton for his conduct. With the verdict all but in hand, White House aides were happy to make reasonably positive judgments on the Senate's labors, praising it in comparison with a House debate they dismissed as excessively partisan. "There have been days in this process where we've had some grievance with a turn in events one way or the other," *Panel discusses i said White House press secretary Joe Lockhart. "But ... there has been a vast difference." Clinton has said he plans to address the nation today after the end of the trial, but officials have said there will not be a repeat of what some senators of both parties have called a partisan celebration that occurred when the House impeached Clinton in December. Asked what he wanted to hear from Clinton today, Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) replied: "As little as possible." For 100 senators meeting in secret for three days, the only view shared by every one appeared to be disgust with President Clinton's behavior. But on the critical question of whether Clinton's alleged perjury and obstruction rose to the level of impeachment, the two sides generally parted company. Regardless of his sins, Democrats said, Clinton should not be removed from office. religion, Internet information about religions they are not familiar with. "You can't believe everything by e-mail, you can't believe everything you look up on the web," Lawrence said. J Earlier this week Lawrence spoke on a variety of reli- gious issues, including the question of a unified religion in the United States and the shift from civil society to f information society. h Last night he gave his last lecture, "Revisiting Religious Pluralism." "I think (Lawrence) hits the mark on many issues," said Yoon, but added that she thought the panel was too e broad and should have been broken down into more con- r crete issues.

Customers I can register to win at the store. While condom sales remain steady throughout the year at The Safe Sex Store, sales of novelty items, including glow-in-the-dark condoms, always rise around Valentine's Day, Karmeisool said. The Safe Sex Store has a variety- of prophylactics for Valentine shop- pers. "We have every national brand condom," said Karmeisool. "We also have imported condoms and specialty condoms like World Wrestling Federation condoms and Marilyn Monroe condoms." The store also sells condoms in a variety of colors and flavored con- doms that come in cola, strawberry and vanilla, to name a few. "National Condom Day reinforces the importance of safe sex, so I *fink it's good that they have it," LSA sophomore Rina Bhattesaid. "But I don't have any special plans to celebrate the day." ,Other students say that practicing safer sex is a year-round issue, so "National Condom Day" is unneces- sary. "For me, every day is National Condom Day," LSA first-year stu- dent Rachael Adamczyk said. f A DAVID ROCHKIND/Daily LSA sophomore Ann Walker makes a valentine on the ground floor of the Michigan Union yesterday as part of the Michigan Union Programming Board's Artsbreak.
