Almost all the snow has fallen from my carriage house roof, and right now there is water dripping from the edge, so I would expect the last of it to be gone by this evening. N.O.A.A. predicted light scattered snow showers for the overnight, and it has been reported that we had some snow flurries around 06:00 this morning. The sky is overcast giving a somber look to the landscape. Buds are beginning to swell on the trees, but we are still in a black and white landscape. The edges of the roads are brown, so either we need some more snow to clean them up or the snow needs to melt and be gone.
For today N.O.A.A. has us at the edge of the light scattered snow area, so depending on your location, we may or may not get snow (or rain). The cloud cover is expected to dissipate slightly during the day (75%/74%/73%/66%), and the temperature should climb to near 40°F by N.O.A.A.'s estimate.
My Weather Stick points slightly up in response to the 58% relative humidity. The Weather Station and Min/Max Thermometer forecast fair skies with rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station still predicts foul weather, but it sees rising barometric pressure as well. My guess lies between the two, in that I see cloudy to partly cloudy skies with some threat of precipitation during the day. The temperature is expected to remain above freezing during the day, therefore I would expect that precipitation to fall in the form of rain, if we indeed have any.

Comparative data for the overnight.
Temperature:34°F/34.3°F//29°F/33.6°F//25°F/32.7°F//23°F/31.6°F
Relative Humidity: 58%/59%//72%/60%//83%/60%//95%/64% .
The N.O.A.A. forecast for temperature for the overnight missed the mark completely for the second half of the period. The only forecast relative humidity point that they got right was at 20:00 hours. I guess forecasting the weather is an inexact science.
Forecast data for today.
Temperature: 28°F/37°F/41°F/40°F
Relative Humidity: 74%/56%/41%/42%
