Not much to report today. The lake effect snow stayed just to the north of us and brought only about a quarter of an inch of white stuff that collected in the fields and on the tree branches. Even that disappeared by 9 AM as the temperature got slightly above the freezing mark.
I did go out for a short walk and followed some fresh track across the old pasture but lost it as it entered the woods. I saw neither hide nor tail of what made the prints.
There's a weather.com report that we might get a couple of inches in the area tonight and the temperature has fallen into the upper 20s as the wind has shifted to the northwest. (It was out of the west for much of the day and that kept the band of snow off Lake Ontario to the north.)
We lost electric power for about 15 minutes this morning right after the last of the snow flurries stopped and before the wind picked up. The timing was such that it had me scratching my head trying to figure out why. There certainly didn't seem to be any reason in the immediate area. It's possible that winds to our west might have already kicked in or that this was a maintenance outage.
