Yesterday started out a little on the cool side but warmed up quite nicely to reach 13° on my thermometer by early afternoon.Shortly thereafter,the temp began falling and we were having snow by 5PM.The wet snow lasted for a couple of hours and then turned to ice pellets mixed with rain.We had a power failure that lasted a couple of hours in the late evening which was probably storm related.
Overnight the rain tapered to a light drizzle and temps are holding at just a degree or two above freezing.There's no change anticipated for today,clearing and warmer tomorrow.
