Our morning began with clear skies but now it has become overcast.  A mix of sun and clouds is in our forecast for the next week but no precipitation is mentioned.  We know how fast that can change.  Regardless, it would be a beautiful day if not for the wind.  I guess we should just be happy that we aren’t buried in snow.  Any snow that we did have is gone, and I wish that these strong winds would also go away.  Yesterday was sunny all day and clear skies overnight displayed a beautiful, bright full moon.

Our extended forecast is not too promising for snow for Christmas but then again, it’s much too early to tell.  Our 1 PM temp is 40F (4C), the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the SW at 7-15 mph, gusting to 22 mph.  The pressure is 29.86 in (1011.2 mb) and falling.   The dew point is 31F (-1C) and visibility is 10 miles.  The wind chill is 32F (0C).  Yesterday’s high was 46F (8C) and the overnight low was 32F (0C).  Averages for this date are 37F / 25F.  Sunrise was at 7:50 AM and sunset will be at 5:01 PM.
