Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:34:21 GMT

Well today was a bit of a clunker with rain, clouds, drizzle, and cool temperatures. The steady and heavy rain did clear out around midday but still left overcast skies and cool temperatures behind. I looked to see what today would be for coolest day since… but the problem is our high temperature was actually 75° which makes that stat less impressive. Rainfall amounts from this morning varied from a quarter-inch to almost a full inch.We’re not done with this storm system yet. It’s stretched out and goes all the way to Detroit. Now that said, we are done with the steady and heavy rain. While we have spotty showers back tomorrow, they’re nowhere near what it was this morning.Regardless, that moisture still has to slide through New England, so some of us will deal with more showers for tomorrow morning’s commute. It won’t be as bad, or as slow, as today. The showers will be very spotty, but they’ll be out there tonight and tomorrow morning espe...
