Things seemed to be clearing last night but it has been snowing again this morning, and still is.


It is not expected to last much longer though with the chance of some sun later on today.


Tomorrow and Sunday the forecast is for clearer and sunny skies as well so it should be a very nice weekend. Followed by more snow from Monday.


Things are good!
