Yup, we woke up to a white world once again.  Most of it was supposed to be rain but that didn’t happen.  It began about midnight and I’m not sure when it ended, but there was two inches to shovel off the deck this morning.  The pups weren’t too happy about it either.  They thought that spring was here.  Didn’t we all?  What’s worse it that  the weekend it expected to be stormy with strong winds expected . . . . possibly gusts up to 50 mph.  Oh well, there’s nothing we can do about it except hope that next week is better.

Our 12:30 PM temperature is 40°F (4°C), the humidity is 71% and skies are cloudy.  Winds are from the east at 15 mph, gusting to 26 mph.  The pressure is 30.10 in (1016.3 mb) and falling.  The dew point is 30°F (-1°C) and the wind chill is 29°F (-2°C).    Yesterday’s high was 44°F (7°C) and the overnight low was 31°F (-1°C).  Sunrise was at 7:01 AM and sunset will be at 8:14 PM.
