We were lucky yesterday and didn’t get any freezing rain.   All the snow and ice on my deck has turned to slush and it shovels easily.  We still have about 2 inches of snowpack and I expect that to be gone by late tomorrow.  Extended forecasts are telling us that February will be mild, and I hope they are right.  I’m just not cut out for these single digit and teen temperatures.  This morning began with dense fog and it continues to be a bit hazy even now.  Visibility is 4 miles.  There is a dense fog advisory until tomorrow.

Our noon temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 100%, and winds are calm.  The dew point is 37°F (3°C) and the pressure is 29.96 in (1014.6 mb) and falling.  Yesterday’s high was 37°F (3°C) and the overnight low was 33°F (1°C).  Average temps for this date are 30°F/15°F.  The record high for Jan 23 is 60°F (1908) and the record low is  -14°F (1960).  Sunrise was at 8:00 AM and sunset will be at 5:38 PM.
