Snow began falling late yesterday afternoon and continued overnight.  There is about half an inch on the ground which melted down to 0.02″ in my rain gauge.  I don’t expect it to last long since highs today should reach the mid 30s.  A winter storm is still pending for our area on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it’s total impact on us still remains to be seen.

Our 11:45 AM temperature is 33°F (1°C), the humidity is 95%, and skies are cloudy with intermittent light snow.  Winds are from the west at 1-3 mph, and the dew point is 32°F (0°C).  The pressure is 29.63 in (1003.4 mb) and rising.  Visibility is 2 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 34°F (1°C) and the overnight low was 28°F (-2°C).  Average temps for this date are 30°F/17°F.  The record high for Jan 7 is 62F set in 2008, and the record low is -24°F set in 1887.  Sunrise was at 8:09 AM and sunset will be at 5:18 PM.
