Sleet and ice and freezing rain and cold temps in the high teens and mid 20's(for here, anywho) Friday, late warm-up to almost normal temps for the rest of the weekend, normal on Monday and Tuesday, then 2 days in the 60's and 70's (F), yesterday the wind commenced to blow, thunderstorms and the wind howling, thunderstorms or no (was very glad it is winter with the leaves off the trees). Temps started dropping some this afternoon as the wind began to significantly ebb, and now we are in for a chilly but not unseasonable weekend. Was planning on driving up to Mom's in WV for an overnight this weekend, but three days snow and low temps forecast for the northern half of the journey. Latitude and altitude both in play.

On the otherhand, the winds have scoured out the atmosphere and now it is is a chilly night with an unusually clear sky. Orion right overhead just now.
