If you thought we had a lot of snow last weekend check out Atlanta. Seven billion billion billion inches! There should be quite a spectacle in the sky tonight when that column of snow smacks into the moon.
Clear Skies Ahead of Christmas
Turning the Corner
Winter weather has taken a definite turn toward the dull. Emptying out all that cold Arctic air last week has calmed the atmosphere down quite a bit. Clouds will arrive early this afternoon, bringing with them a slight chance of flurries. It will be a brisk day with a high in the mid 20s. The wind chill will be in the teens. Tomorrow will see a return to near normal temperatures as winds shift to the west around the backside of this high pressure system.
A Hard Rain Did Kinda Fall
We hate to state the obvious but that was a lot of rain. Three-and-a-third inches of rain, which is nearly a December's worth, fell since Wednesday. Had it been only a few degrees cooler much of the precipitation would have fallen as snow. How much snow? Assume a typical 10:1 snow-to-rain ratio and it works out to nearly three feet.
