Cloudy tonight, low 25. NE winds 5 – 10 mph.
The warm temperatures – which are now gone from my area – and all of that rain pretty much finished up the snow ground cover. Granted, there are still the remains of the high mountains of plowed up snow here and there, but nothing I can see on the ground. Got 1.38″ of rain since yesterday and there are Flood Warnings out all over the place for the next few days, at least.It’s great to see bare ground again, even if it is all a muddy, slushy mess.
Temperature dropped enough overnight to leave a thin coating of ice on most surfaces. I suspect driving in to work for those early morning folk wasn’t all that much fun. With the huge amount of rain over the past day or so not having anyplace to go, it sort of puddled up and froze up a bit overnight. Not good. Our daytime temperatures won’t be bad, but the nights will still be dipping down low enough to freeze.
