Bright And Beautiful

The sun is shining this morning and it is going to be a very nice day. We should be up around 50 degrees this afternoon, and although more clouds will be popping up we should see occasional sunshine through most of the day. One thing that I noticed yesterday is how ridiculously early it gets dark in the afternoon. For years I have been cloistered in a brightly lit building during the work days of the winter, so I didn't realize how ridiculously early it gets dark in the afternoon. It is going to do that again later today so I vow to be ready for it!

As the week progresses the weather is going to go downhill. Rain tomorrow will be followed by colder air. Behind tomorrow's weather system will be a couple more that will be dropping in from the northwest. The one on Thursday looks pretty minor, but the one that will show up Friday afternoon appears more impressive. It will be cold enough for some snow from both. Again, Thursday's doesn't look like a big deal, but Friday could be. One thing that we have going for us through is that the precipitation, mainly snow, will start in the afternoon which of course is usually the warmer part of the day. That should help keep any accumulation from becoming a "big deal" on the streets and highways. This early in the winter weather season the time of day that snow comes down has a big impact on what will stick to the roads. With all of that said, we will just have to wait and see what happens.
