Today's Rant
Today we saw rather warm temperatures most of the day, but to the common observer that may have been a clever disguise for the current storm at hand. The clouds were threatening all day, almost looking like a hot summer afternoon as more moisture built up in our area thanks to warm air from the south over the last few days. What was light rain turned to ice, and is now falling as snow. Quickly. This storm is massive, covering several states with everything from rain to snow, and it predicted to dump as much as a foot of snow in our area. If you're like me, this is a great day with a perfect combination: snow and warmth
Forecast for Tomorrow
Snow will linger overnight into the morning, and tomorrow will bring fairly strong winds from a more westerly direction. This should keep us in the clouds most likely, but temperatures should begin to drop off again, as is typical of the day after a big storm that wastes most of the moisture in the air. This is a big storm and it is likely that a colder, drier pattern could emerge for the next week.
