#MEwx Sun and warm, a storm watch and how many different kinds of snow is there?

Good morning Augusta.

I’ve put up an Ambient WS 5000 weather station where you can view real time weather readings from my location online by clicking here.

We’re under a Winter Storm Watch, it’s posted in full in the post preceding this one. Read it folks, we’re gonna get hammered again.

This morning we have mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 40s. Winds are North around 10 mph.

Tonight we’ll have partly cloudy  conditions during evening hours, becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the mid 20s with light and variable winds.

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

The  wind is Northeast between  3.4 MPH and 7.6 MPH.

The Relative pressure is 29.82, the Absolute pressure is 29.62 and rising with a weather graphic indicating sun and a few clouds.

Augusta’s humidity is 67%, the  outdoor temperature is 33.6°F, the dew point is 23.5°F and the wind chill is 33.6°F.

Since we’re slated for another pasting of snow this might interest you.

Have you ever wondered how many different kinds of snow there is? If yes, I have a web site for you to look at. Seriously, this web site is great and you may want to look it over.

I’m sure there’s an annoying know-it-all at your office that you’d like to get the better of at least once. So, when he or she says it’s snowing outside respond with: “Really? What kind of snow is it this time?”
