Today is finally acting like January.  We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning.  There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably be gone by this afternoon.  It’s supposed to get quite windy later, but winds have been pretty quiet so far.  Also the temperature is expected to rise near 40°F, and the precip should be all rain.  There is no sign of that happening yet, but it’s early.

Our 12:15 PM temperature is 34°F (1°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies are overcast with light snow.  Winds re from the east at 5-8 mph and our wind chill is 28°F (-2°C).  The pressure is 29.20 in (988.8 mb) and falling, and the dew point is 33°F (1°C).  Visibility is only 2 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 37°F (3°C) and the overnight low was 32°F (0°C).  Sunrise was at 8:08 AM and sunset will be at 5:20 PM.
