This morning's photo:

I missed getting a post in for yesterday.There wasn't much to report about Saturday anyways....gray and temps around 0°.

Yesterday was a different story.The day starteted at slightly +/- the freezing point with fog.Some light rain began around noon and turned to snow by 2PM.The snow was quite intense by times and continued into the late afternoon.We got about 8cms of heavy,wet snow here in total.Temps dropped in the evening to below freezing and the wind picked up substantially.This morning everything is frozen and the streets are covered in most areas.
