Partly cloudy, warmer on Sunday with high temps up in the lower 50s after early AM lows in the mid 20s.

The minimum temperature was 26.7° at 0547. Dew point temperatures ranged from a low of 24° @ 0000 up…

Well the ground hog didn’t see his shadow so we are supposedly in for an early spring. Punxsatawney Phil has had about a 40% accuracy rate the past 10 years so I am not too worried about our snow chances for the next 6 weeks. Partly cloudy, one more chilly early AM (lower teens) then milder PM (upper 30s) with temps getting above freezing and with some sun, the snowpack diminished during the day on Saturday unfortunately.  The maximum temperature…

Cloudy, not quite as cold, featuring a light snow fall most of the daylight hours.

The minimum temperature was 14.7° at 0000. Dew point…

The winds not only lessened by late afternoon, but in the evening started to switch around to a light southerly direction that made for a not so cold evening in the teens. Colder mins and…
