First snow this morning

It is a bright, cool and sunny morning here in Augusta Maine. with today's high  reaching 40 with luck. We had some rain, that changed to snow overnight, so it is slimey out there. You need to drive like its December. .

We are under a winter storm warning through Sunday with a heavy and wet snow possible from Saturday through Sunday. With leaves still on the trees, power outages are probably in the offing, so you need to make sure you have gas for the generator, and hit the grocery store before tonight. Get ready folks, winter is showing up in spades whether you are ready or not.

This morning's readings are:

a relative humidity of 70% with a Dew Point of 24.7ºF.

The temperature is 33.3ºF, with a wind chill of 28.8 ºF. 

The wind velocity is presently between 5.1 mph and 8.3 mph out of the West. That will gust to higher levels during the day, with a corresponding wind chill, so its time for the hat as well as gloves.

Our Barometric pressure is 29.92  and rising.

Visibility today is clear at 10.0 miles, but don't expect that to last all day.
