Good morning.


Yesterday we enjoyed some clearer skies but it's back to lower visibility this morning.


It is relatively mild this morning and it's probably going to be one of those days when it gets colder as the day progresses. And the snow that is falling will get nicer along with the cold, and a whole lot of it is due as we get into tomorrow.
