Feb 21(Fri)

Very cold start, some fine snow crystals falling at dawn out of a few scattered clouds. Cold, windy , and sunny sums up the day. A very odd stat, especually considering the ground is bare. Since Friday 2 weeks ago, I’ll need to go back and double check this, but I believe flakes have fell at some point each day 12 or 13 out of the last 15. A few of those were flakes prior to midnight and just after. But that a odd thing in a mild February.
