After a wet, dreary Wednesday, today is bright and sunny but temperatures are below average once again.  There is little wind and with the sun, it is very pleasant.  I’m hearing predictions of a very snowy winter for our part of the country, and that has come from three different sources.  Could they all be wrong?  At least, being retired, I don’t have to worry about trying to get to work in a snowstorm.  Those days are past, but we still have to deal with the shoveling and snow blowing.  We are apparently under the influence of a triple La Nina, and local meteorologist, Mark Toragrossa, explained that it happened back in 1976 and 2001.  Both of those years we had hard winters with a lot of snow.  I also heard that same prediction from my trusty weather dude, Ryan Hall on YouTube, although he also said that it’s much too early to give a definite forecast like that.  The third source was NOAA.  Whatever happens, it sounds like it will be an interesting winter.

Our 2:45 PM temperature is 51°F, the humidity is 57%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the NW at 2-5 mph.  The dew point is 35°F and visibility is 13 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 75°F and the overnight low was 34°F.  Average temps for this date are 55°F / 37°F.  Record temps for this date are 75°F / 21°F.  Sunrise was at 8:05 AM and sunset was at 6:37 PM.
