By -

Good morning Augusta

We’re under another winter weather advisory from 11 tonight to noon tomorrow for 3-6 inches of snow and a glaze of ice. Read the complete advisory in the post preceding this one.

This morning we have mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid 20s and light and variable winds.

Tonight we’ll have cloudy skies with  a chance for snow this evening, then snow after midnight. Snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches. Lows in the lower 20s with light and

variable winds.

The readings from my weather instruments are:

The Wind Chill is 5.9°F, Dew Point is -15.9°F, the humidity is 35%, and the outdoor temp is 5.9°F.

The wind direction is Northwest between 0.1 MPH and 0.2 MPH.

The Relative pressure is 30.48, the Absolute pressure is 30.28 and steady with a weather graphic indicating sun.

Augusta’s RAW METAR readings are:

METAR KAUG 201153Z AUTO 06003KT 10SM CLR M16/M21 A3051 RMK AO2 SLP340 T11611211 11117 21167 50007

We didn’t receive any snow here over the past 24 hours.

With wind chills and snow still happening around us a food that helps a Tropical island fantasy is as mentally appealing as it is dietarily. Make this and get back on the treadmill.
