There was freezing drizzle late yesterday and overnight making my deck very slippery this morning.  But the sun came out and temperatures rose to 35°F which melted most of the ice.  Now we have the winds to deal with.  We took down our Christmas tree today so that occupied much of our time.  I did manage to go out to get an accurate measurement of snow cover, and we have 2.8″ left on the ground.  Temperatures are now dropping so don’t expect to lose much more today.

Our 3 PM temperature is 25°F (-4°C), the humidity is 66%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the WNW at 4-20 mph giving us a wind chill us 15°F (-9°C).  The dew point is 15°F (-9°C), and the pressure is 30.05 in (1017.6 mb) and rising.  Yesterday’s high was 32°F (0°C) and the overnight low was 26°F (-3°C).  Average temps for this date are 30°F / 19°F.  Sunrise was at 8:07 AM and sunset will be at 5:20 PM.
