Will our weather ever stabilize?  This swinging back and forth is getting annoying.  Yesterday’s warmup got rid of about half the snow cover.  Now, today, temps will be dropping all day and the frigid weather will be back with us once again.  At least it is now February  and spring is just around the corner.  As I gaze out my window this morning, we have lost about half our snow cover and there is only about 50% coverage now.  Once again, there is snow in the forecast for the weekend but it isn’t expected to be that much.  But that’s what they said last time.

Our 9 AM temperature is 34.9°F (2°C), the humidity is 73%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  The pressure is 29.73 in (1006.5 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 10 miles and the dew point is 26°F (-3°C).    Winds are from the WSW at 9 mph giving a wind chill of 25°F (-4°C).  Sunrise was at 7:51 AM and sunset will be at 5:48 PM.  Yesterday’s high was 40°F (4°C) and the overnight low was 32°F (0°C).  Averages are 30°F / 15°F.  The record high for Jan. 31 is 53°F set in 1988, and the record low is -13°F set in 1899.
