With the low pressure front moving in snow fell early and often last night but not leaving more than an inch which was excellent. Warmer temps have moved in accompanying the light snow but even though it's about 20 degrees warmer than a few days ago the air is still fairly cold. To me it won't be warm until the temps are consistently in the 40s or higher.

Temps around the area all over 20 which I assure you will be welcomed by everyone. My prediction from yesterday is fairly accurate. I was wrong with the winds and a over with the temp but not by much. For tomorrow I foresee warmer temps in the upper 20s with a similar humidity. The jet stream should continue to push the lower pressure into the area for the next couple days.

Whether or not this is the end of winter in terms of cold temps I cannot say but I do hope temps stay above 0 degrees for the rest of the season.
