Once the last of the clouds moved off to the southeast we had nothing but sunshine for the rest of the day. There was a cold wind blowing all day and only one of my electronic stations got over 40°F. It definitely was a nice day to look at but only from the inside looking out. As N.O.A.A. predicted we had no precipitation today.
For the overnight the N.W.S. forecasts continued clear skies (1%/0%/0%/0%) with no precipitation. This may well allow temperatures to fall even further than they expect. We could see the single numbers again. There is nothing appearing on the NEXRAD regional composite radar and until sometime Wednesday there is nothing on the Weather Underground model forecast maps. Wednesday looks like another snow sandwich in store for us. The filling this time appears to be sleet and freezing rain. The second round of snow is expected to end sometime Friday morning. This looks like a real mess.
My Weather Stick is smiling at the 44% relative humidity. All three of my electronic instruments are forecasting fair skies and rising barometric pressure. I cannot really argue with that. The recorded high temperatures were 40.2°F, 39.6°F and 37.0°F.
