Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this winter.  Skies continue to be cloudy and occasional snow flurried appear from time to time.  The wind isn’t too bad and that makes it tolerable.  This weather is a shock to the system after the mild December that we had; but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.  After all, it is January.

Our 2 PM temperature is 27°F (-3°C), the humidity is 65%, and skies are cloudy.  It is supposed to be partly cloudy today, but no sun for us yet.  Winds are from the west at 2-7 mph, and our wind chill is 22°F (-6°C).  The pressure is 30.14 in (1020.7 mb) and steady.  The dew point is 15°F (-9°C) (and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 33°F (1°C) and the overnight low was 23°F (-5°C).  Average temps for this date are 31°F/18°F.  The record high for Jan. 4 is 54°F set in 1997, and the record low is -29°F set in 1981.  Sunrise was at 8:09 AM and sunset will be at 5:15 PM.
