The Clear skies last night allowed for the long wave radiation to escape into the upper atmosphere which was a reason why temperatures dropped so low (31F.)  As for today, the weather is rather deceiving.  It appears to be quite warm outside because of the clear skies and sunshine, but in actuality, the air is rather chilly.  52 degrees currently with the high reaching to only 57 degrees.  The Jet Stream is pulling in the air mass from the polar continental.
