There was more snow today than what I had predicted was going to happen. Temperatures were around the same as yesterday. There was not the afternoon sunshine that I had expected to come through.

Today's weather started out with moderate snowfall with a few inches of accumulation. Temperatures were right around freezing all day because I had noticed the snow was very wet and heavy. By looking at the weather map there was a low pressure that did develop which could be why the afternoon stayed cloudy. Later in the afternoon around 6pm I did notice that the temperature did warm up enough to turn the snowfall into rain.

By taking another look at the weather map it looks like there should be a high pressure system that is going to be moving in meaning that we should have some sunshine throughout the day tomorrow. It is possible that it could move in tonight meaning temperatures will be cooler because of the lack of cloud cover.
