Snow Now,Rain Later

This morning's photo:

Yesterday was another cold day here.It wasn't quite as cold as Monday but it certainly wasn't a beach day.The wind was light throughout the day.Temp was down to -10° in the evening.

Today promises to be an interesting day.This morning it is snowing and we are under a rainfall warning. So far,we have enough snow to cover the streets and there has been a great deal of school and events cancellations.The temperature is rising and the snow will turn to rain later this morning or early this afternoon.Freezing rain is possible during the change over.There's lots of rain on the way for tonight with temps above 0 for the next few days.
