Before Tonight's Storm

Today is a partially cloudy day with some winds. The temperature now is about 45° outside. Not too bad.

But that's not going to last as a storm is coming in tonight that will give us some snow showers and will continue through tomorrow.

It seems like every time we get a little warmer, a snow storm decides to arrive on the scene.

The warmer storm we had yesterday brought rain into the area and that almost melted all that remained of the snow dumped during New Year's.
