The winter mess that was predicted for us didn’t affect us much.  There was about half an inch of frozen ice/snow on my deck this morning, but it wasn’t even slick to walk on.  We are lucky.  I haven’t heard how the southern portions of the state made out.  Now we are left with cloudy skies and strong winds.  We still have another winter storm expected Saturday, but we haven’t heard a definite expected snow amount yet.

Our 1:15 PM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 90%, and winds are from the W at 15-25 mph.  The pressure is 29.64 in and rising, and the dew point is 28°F.  The wind chill is 20°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 26°F and the overnight low was 24°F.  Average temps for this date are 31°F/15°F.  Sunrise was at 7:47 AM and sunset was at 5:57 PM.
