Windy

This morning's visual

Yesterday was cold,wet and windy here.The temp struggled to make it past 5° and the wind was very strong....anyone looking at the streaming cam sure would have seen it bouncing around.We had lots of rain with some pretty heavy downpours.
The rain has stopped but the wind is still quite strong here this morning.It is still cool and will remain this way for the day.
A slight improvement is expected as the day progresses but temps are to remain cool through this week.
