This Winter's weather has been a roller coaster ride between extremes. The last snow storm dumped 7 to 8 inches of wet sloppy snow which turned to 3 to 4 inches of slop that turned to solid ice in the sub-zero weather that followed the storm. We saw a warm-up into the 50's yesterday which started to melt the frozen slop, but at 3:00AM this morning the weather took an abrupt "U-turn" with a rapid temperature drop and rain.

We hit a high temperature of 57.1F at 2:00AM and then the temperature dropped 30 degrees in 30 minutes at 3:00AM.

We hit a high temperature of 57.1F at 2:00AM and then the temperature dropped 30 degrees in 30 minutes at 3:00AM.
At the same time as the temperature was dropping like a rock the rain started to pour.
Around 3:00AM the wind direction abruptly changed from the south to a flow from the north.
The wind speed also picked up and we recorded 20mph wind gusts.
The barometric pressure which dropped to 29.21 inches made an abrupt turn at 3:00AM and started climbing.
