Another gloomy day and much colder temperatures.   We are expecting a little snow later on, maybe about an inch or two.  I’m hearing that a big warm-up is coming for Christmas and will last through New Years Day.  I have mixed feeling about that.  I love a white scenario for Christmas but it’s been a while since we’ve had a good snow cover for Christmas.  It doesn’t look like it will happen this year either.

Our 12:45 PM temp is 29°F, the humidity is 73%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the E at calm to 4 mph.  The pressure is 29.98 in and steady, and the dew point is 19°F.  Visibility is  miles.  Yesterday’s high was 36°F and the overnight low was 25°F.  Average temps for this date are 34°F/22°F.  Record temps for Dec. 18 are 59°F (1939) and -8°F (1926).  Sunrise was at 8:05 PM and sunset will be at 5:05 PM.
