We had a winter mess late yesterday which began as rain, then changed to freezing rain and sleet, then snow on top of that.  It only amounted to 1-2 inches of ground cover, but everything was a bit icy this morning.  We had to go out shopping and the roads weren’t too bad by noon.  Now the sun is out and there is quite a bit of melting happening, even though the temperatures aren’t that warm.  Temps will be warming back up into the 40s tomorrow, so none of this will last long.

Our 2:30 PM temperature is 24°F (-4°C), the humidity is 65%, and winds are from the NW at 14-20 mph.  The wind chill is 12°F (-11°C) and the dew point is 11°F (-12°C).  The pressure is 30.26 in (1024 mb) and steady.  Yesterday’s high was 55°F (13°C) and the overnight low was 18°F (-8°C).  Average Temps for this date are 33°F / 17°C.  Record temps for Feb. 16 are 54°F / -11°F.  Sunrise was at 7:33 AM and sunset will be at 7:46 PM.
