After intermittent snow showers most of our Sunday, today is starting out the same way.  We received about 2 inches yesterday and are getting a little more today.  What’s worse is that this is the beginning of a very cold spell which will dominate most of this week.  I have to say that this has been a real winter for us, something we haven’t had in a while.  At least we aren’t buried in a foot or two of snow.

Our 12:15 PM temperature is 23°F (-5°C), the humidity is 85%, and winds are from the W at 6-13 mph.  Skies are overcast with light snow.  The pressure is 29.86 in (1011.2 mb) and rising, and visibility is 2.5 miles.  The dew point is 18°F (-8°C) and the wind chill is 16°F (-9°C).  Yesterday’s high was 33°F (1°C) and the overnight low was 23°F (-5°C).  Average temps for this date are 30°F/16°F.  Record temps for Jan. 12 are 60°F (1950) and -9°F (2015).  Sunrise was at 8:07 AM, and sunset will be at 5:25 PM.
