After a day and night of constant rain, today we have the sun trying to make an appearance.  Yesterday’s precip amount was 1.33 inches.  It rained all day, then switched to wet snow late last night.  It was covering my deck when I went to bed, and I expected to see an all white ground cover this morning.  There was no snow remaining.  We will start losing our warm temperatures after today, and very cold temps will be with us once again.  The YouTube weather gurus are advising us to prepare for a cold, snowy January.  We’ll see it they’re right.
