N.O.A.A. forecast no precipitation during the day today. We did have a flurry late this afternoon, but it did not amount to anything. It has remained windy, but relatively warm, and much of the snow and ice in my dooryard is now gone. Hooray. It is still slippery, but, if one is careful, it is possible to find places to walk and not wind up falling.
For tonight there is apparently a chance of some light scattered snow showers, but I have not seen any yet. For the second half of the period the N.W.S. says we will not have any precipitation. The NEXRAD composite regional radar does not show any echoes in our area. So we have no precipitation. The Weather Underground model forecast maps also indicate that we are to be storm free for the next couple of days at least.
My Weather Stick is expressionless again as a result of the 61% relative humidity. All three of the electronic instruments indicate rising barometric pressure. Only the remote weather station is calling for cloudy conditions. The other two see fair skies in our future. High temperatures were in the upper thirties and low forties here at CW5246. The wind continues to blow and the temperature is now near the freezing mark or jus t below.
Once again, Marry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

The N.W.S. did a good job of forecasting the temperature again today. They had them all within five degrees. They did equally well with the relative humidity getting all four points within 10% of the actual recorded data.
