► Keep seeing stars overhead although it's supposed to be cloudy. A chance of snow in our forecast for later today. (40ºF/4ºC @ 2 AM)
► Time to call it a day. (38ºF/3ºC @ 4 AM)
► Awoke around eight o'clock. 38ºF/3ºC and sleeting. Went back to bed. It was too early for me to get up anyway.
► Still 38ºF/3ºC and a mixture of drizzle and snow is falling from the sky. The weather is not improving after my returns to sleep, so I decided to go ahead and start my Sunday. Coffee consumption underway.
► Alternating between drizzle, sleet and snow. The temperature is still 38ºF/3ºC @ 1 PM.
► Afternoon walk: Not very pleasant in wet snow shower, but we made the regular trip to the gate and back. One of those times when Jo and I would not have been motivated to get the exercise were it not for the dogs. (36ºF/2ºC @ 4:45 PM)
► I don't care if the thermometer does say it's 35ºF/1ºC; there's ice on the porch steps. (Methinks, the pick up bulb for the thermometer is too close to the house.)
► The temperature fell into the upper twenties overnight. Skies remained cloudy but the precipitation stopped around sunset. We ended up with a light dusting of snow here and there by day's end. I guess this event qualities as our first snow of the season, but just barely.
