When I was much younger I can remember Easter gatherings where the apple blossoms were out, and we had delightful warm temperatures. That was not to happen this year. It was cold today and quite blustery. The landscape had the look of winter with two feet and more of snow on top of the frozen ground. It seems that this been going on forever this year.
The N.W.S. predicts some increase in cloud cover overnight (1%/5%/11%/46%), but no precipitation. Get ready for some more temperatures in the single numbers. Winter is definitely not over yet.
My Weather Stick continues to smile. I guess it likes the 41% relative humidity. All three of my electronic instruments forecast rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station still forecasts cloudy conditions, but the other two call for fair skies. I believe that. Once again we had high temperatures that did not make it out of the thirties (34.7°F/32.2°F/36.0°F). Is anyone else tired of this kind of wintry weather? Oh well, I hope you had a Happy Easter anyway.

The N.W.S. was within 5°F of the recorded temperature all day. They only missed the 17:00 hour relative forecast, and that only by 2%. This was really a good job by the N.W.S.
