Sunday featured sunny skies, warmer all day and in fact the warmest day (so far) of March, and warmest day since February 28 when I hit 63.3. Temperatures are once again warming quickly through the 40s this Monday morning, with highs in the 50s under sunny skies expected again today. During the mild afternoon around 1430, the Aqua Satellite flyover was occurring over my location, so I took my daily GLOBE cloud observation at that time. Today’s featured image was…

Temperatures are warming quickly into the low 40s not so early on this Sunday morning, with winds lessening overnight. The Saturday maximum temperature from the VP2 (43.3°) was recorded…

On Monday, we had mostly cloudy skies, cold with temps holding in the 30s most of the day, just topping over the 40° in the late afternoon. A snowstorm was building to the S and W moving in on our area, but didn’t materialize anything more than a scant trace at my location, and never accumulating on the ground, even on the grass that I saw. Other locations in the region got as much as 1-2 inches, and a lot…
