We have yet another very cold day ahead with highs expected to not rise much above freezing.  No real precipitation is expected until next week, and I’m hoping that it comes as rain, not snow.  So far, the weather forecasts are inconclusive.

Our 11:15 AM temperature is 32°F (0°C), the humidity is 78%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the south at 3-9 mph, and the wind chill is 24F (-4C).  The dew point is 24°F (-4°C) and the pressure is 30.08 in (1018.6 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 10 miles.  Average temps for this date are 30°F/18°F.  The record high for Jan. 5 is 60°F set in 1997, and the record low is -12°F set in 1912.  Sunrise was at 8:09 AM and sunset will be at 5:16 PM.
