We had a snow shower develop yesterday evening just to our northwest, and it proceeded to move in our direction, gaining momentum as it advanced toward us.  It dropped an inch of snow on us in a short time.  It didn’t last long, just enough to make the roads wet and obstruct vision a bit.  I hate driving on wet roads when it’s dark, and with the daylight hours so minimal right now, I try to do all my running around early in the day.  I had a Christmas dinner last night so didn’t have much of a choice.  With the holidays coming, there is definitely an increase in traffic lately and stores are very busy.  I don’t enjoy shopping in crowds.

Our 10:45 AM temperature is 35°F (2°C), the humidity is 76%, and winds are from the northwest at 6 mph.  The pressure is 30.02 in (1016.6 mb) and rising.  The wind chill is 30°F (-1°C) and the dew point is 28°F (-2°C).  Visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’ high was 39°F (4°C) and the overnight low was 28°F (-2°C).  Averages for this date are 36°F / 25°F.  Sunrise was at 7:51 AM and sunset will be at 5:02 PM.
