Cloudy, not quite as cold, featuring a light snow fall most of the daylight hours. It was a beautiful snow at times, just wafting down from the heavens, light as a feather, floating softly to coat most surfaces lightly. Temperatures rose slowly from the teens overnight into the low 20s by mid-afternoon. Snow pack increased a bit with the light snow falling all day. 

The maximum temperature was 21.6° at 1420.

The minimum temperature was 14.7° at 0000.

Dew point temperatures ranged from a low of -2° @ 0224 up to a high of 17° @ 1626.

Relative humidity values ranged from a low of 43% @ 0233 up to a high of 88% @ 2318.

Barometric pressure ranged from a high of 30.48″ @ 0221 down to a low of 30.37″ @ 1414.

Friday had 0.07″ of melted precipitation. My final January monthly total was 3.58″ with my year-to-date total now at 3.65″ for 2019 with the 0.07″ amount so far in February.

1.2″ of snow fell on Wednesday. 2 inches of snow remains on the ground. My year-to-date snowfall is now 16.1″ with the seasonal total at 18.2″.

My current online data (except for rainfall/snowfall – use the cocorahs link shown below for that dataset) is showing regularly on Weather Underground. My data is posted there every 5 minutes. My ID is KMDROCKV200 and my station is called “Gardens of Traville.” Data is online, normally just about in real-time now as it is being updated on a 5 minute interval. The web address for my data on weather underground is:
https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMDROCKV200

I contribute my precipitation data daily to CoCoRaHS as Rockville 2.8 WNW, Station ID MD-MG-115 on https://www.cocorahs.org/

Please remember that Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge, just as it does on WxLink 2.0. The tipping bucket has been producing erratic values at times so should not be used save for general precipitation timing. For example during our big snowstorm back in mid-January the snow didn’t melt at all during the storm, and only started to record precipitation amounts a few days later when the sun and above freezing temperatures started to melt the snow.

I actually use the data I post to CoCoRaHS from my 4 inch CoCoRaHS gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day. I also use a snow stake outside my balcony window to get an idea on how much snow has fallen (while it is snowing) and how much snow is on the ground.

Saturday and Sunday will moderate some more, with highs in the low 40s on Saturday (Will the ground hog see his shadow?) and upper 40s on Sunday and lows in the mid 20s on Saturday and around 30° on Sunday under partly cloudy skies.

Early in the week milder conditions continue, with scattered clouds and mid 50s on Monday and partly to mostly cloudy and around 60° on Tuesday with lows in the upper 30s Monday dropping late back into the 20s late Tuesday. 

Midnight Friday night found the temperature at 17.0°, relative humidity 88%, pressure steady at 30.45″ and the dew point at 14.1° under clear skies.

Currently at 0435 the temperature is 15.1° under clear skies, relative humidity at 90%, barometric pressure falling at 30.43″, and the dew point at 13°.

Good early morning from the still nowywalrus on this clear, calm, snow-covered landscape here on Saturday. Make sure you check out my newest snowfall pictures as my featured image file and the image shown below, showing my passing crow visitors perched for a few seconds to get out of the snow.
