N.O.A.A. forecast mixed precipitation overnight, and it appears that is what we had. There is about an inch and a half of very heavy wet slush on the ground and mixed precipitation still falling. The wind is currently out of the North indicating that the storm should be past us, but it appears that it is circling around to take another shot at us here in Maine. The temperature overnight remained very steady, very close to but not below the freezing mark.

The Rain Has Changed Back To Snow
For this morning N.O.A.A. predicts the same wintry mix we have been having, but that may change to rain this afternoon. The cloud cover is expected to remain at 100%, the temperature may get to the high thirties, and that would support the changeover to rain.
My Weather Stick indicates 91% relative humidity pointing down. There has been some increase in the barometric pressure resulting in the Weather Station and Min/Max Thermometer forecasting fair skies and improvement in the barometric pressure. The remote weather station is the only one that seems to have a grasp of reality forecasting foul weather and steady barometric pressure. That happens to be my best guess for today. This system does not seem to have any inclination to move on for a while yet. It can get out of here at any time and make us all a lot happier.

N.O.A.A. could hardly miss with the forecast last night, and they did not with the temperature. They did not hit any of the relative humidity recorded percentages overnight. The only one that was close (within 6%) was at 20:00 hours.
