Today we have to deal with cold and very windy conditions.  On the positive side, warmer temps will be with us once again by the weekend.  Yesterday brought rain early, which then turned to wet snow.  Although the snow at times seemed quite heavy, it melted right away, so no accumulations.  There was  0.14″ in my rain gauge.  Now the sun is trying to shine through the overcast.
