As was noted in the title the snow ended around sunset, and the sky began to clear. There still is no significant wind associated with the storm, and the barometric pressure is still over 30 in.Hg. N.O.A.A. did have the predominant weather correct, since it did snow all day, as they forecast.
Overnight the sky is expected to continue to clear according to N.O.A.A., and the temperature is not expected to fall very far because of the southwest wind, even though it is light. We are not expecting any precipitation here, but there may be some light scattered showers north and a bit south of us. Good luck folks.
My Weather Stick points down, and the relative humidity is 84%. Have we seen the pattern here? I used to believe in weather sticks as forecast tools. My electronic instruments are all forecasting deteriorating barometric pressure. Two of them forecast foul weather, and the remote weather station forecasts clouds. I do not believe any of them. I think the skies will clear, and we will not have any more foul weather for the moment. That does not say we will not see something as the New Year starts, but we will have to wait and see on that.
