The N.O.A.A. forecast of no precipitation for the overnight was correct. Their estimate of the cloud cover was quite a bit lower than we actually had. As a result of that the temperature did not fall as fast or as far as they expected.

I hope everyone enjoyed the respite we had yesterday from the freezer. That is probably the last of that kind of weather we will see until the end of the month. When I took Ike out I found that the N.O.A.A. forecast of no precipitation was not 100 % correct.

We were supposed to have light scattered snow showers all day today according to the N.O.A.A., and we did not. The clouds broke this afternoon, and we wound up with temperatures in the upper thirties to mid-forties. The one negative to the afternoon was the wind which gusted at nearly 20 mph.

For today the N.O.A.A. forecast for the predominant weather was correct. We did not have any precipitation. Their estimate of the cloud cover was a bit low. The sky remained overcast for the most part with the sun appearing as a brilliant but muted disk all day.
