After a fairly sunny day yesterday (which failed to dislodge the 2' of snow still on my roof because of the temperature), we're back to fog, a recurring pattern here.

Still, no complaints if it keeps the snow good.

It is snowing lightly but unlikely to be more than dusting ceasing during the day until the evening, but even then, no real amounts.

Looks like the next real blue sky day will be on Friday.
