It's a little messy here this morning with lots of cancellations and reports of a fair amount of traffic mishaps.Our area received 8 to 10 cms of snow from late yesterday afternoon until the precip changed to rain in the mid-evening hours.Apparently conditions were much worse to the east and inland....our streets are mostly just clear and wet.
Most of the snow here has been washed away but the temps have fallen more rapidly than expected and it is now near freezing.Along with that the wind is quite strong...it actually woke me up at 4AM,sounded like a freight train was passing through my front yard.
The weather will remain a bit unsettled for the next few days with flurries possible,however,the real cold air seems to be behind us...for now.

The high on my thermometer yesterday was +2°C.
Currently(7:30AM):0°C

Wind is strong W.
