It dropped to 16 degrees overnight at the Aerie. That's not real cold but it is still below the average low for this date. It never did get above 25 yesterday and isn't likely to do so today as the breezes (can't really call them "winds" as the air is barely moving) are blowing out of the north.
While the east coast got dumped on, we here in the interior a couple of hundred miles from the ocean got bupkis, nada, nil, zip in the way of any new accumulations. Oh, occasionally there is a very fine crystalline form of precipitation falling, but it has neither filled in the squirrel tracks on the old snow nor covered any part of the wood on the deck.
Meanwhile, Terry reports that she and Jessica received around 11" of light powdery fluff during the night. They had both cars parked in the driveway which is about 5 normal cars long so all she had to do was clear the end of the drive and the sidewalk before heading off to church. She'll get the balance of the snow cleared when she gets back. Jessica had to go off to work early as The Mall At Short Hills' tape message said they would be open today. As long as they had a crew available to clear the snow from the access roads that's probably a sound decision since the snow has ended and it is one of the few malls with a large, multi-tiered parking garage.
