March 10, 2016

Yesterday was a lot like the day before — cooler than it has been with rain and some wind. This seems to be what passes for wintry weather this year. We haven't had any snow or ice — or very many subfreezing days, for that matter — which tends to make it somewhat bewildering when we see reports of snowstorms up north.

My guess is the temperature stayed in the 60s all day, although it is possible it reached 70° briefly.

Last night's low was expected to be 57°. It was 59° when I woke up.

It's been raining all night so I won't photograph my meter this morning. I hope to resume tomorrow; if not, then this weekend. Yesterday's reading was between 30035 and 30036.
