Just from looking outside it is hard to tell what month of the year it is. May? Really? Looks more like January to me. Last Friday through Tuesday we had the weather many of us have been waiting for only to have it revert back to the winter rut we have been stuck in. Thanks Mother Nature! Or really thanks shift in the jet stream!

Since early this morning it has been snowing and seems to have picked up quite a bit since I got up around 6:00. It is going to keep on snowing for the remainder of the day and into the night. 

Temperatures are currently around 32F. In just a short drive south east and you'll be in 60-70 degree weather!
Winds are coming from the North around 11 mph.

Tomorrow is looking to start out similar to today with temperatures in the 30s and a snowy mix precipitation. As the day goes on possibly a shift to rain.

Yesterdays sun and clear(er) skies had it finally feeling like spring!

Today will be mostly cloudy. High temperatures reaching in the upper 40s! Winds are coming from the west at 10mph. There is a 10-20% chance of precipitation later in the day/night. The system of high pressure is bringing warmer air from the south. This pattern is going to continue into early next week as we are likely to see clear skies and warming temperatures (70s anyone?).
