Yesterday was wet and cold.  Today is even colder but at least it’s dry.  There was a trace of snow on the ground this morning, but it is gone now.  There is no precip in our forecast and it was supposed to become sunny by this afternoon.  So far, that hasn’t happened.  I’m seeing a chance for some snow showers tomorrow, but then the rest of the week should be dry.  Those going out on New Year’s Eve should have decent driving conditions.
