9:30pm Saturday.

This is proabably the last posting. Hope you all had a great time!

The trend for Sundy is pretty solid: wind building. The question is: when will it start? Most predicitons seem to favor an overnight increase into the teens, although that could happen later depending on how fast the front moves in. Temps should break 10F before 9am and rise to near 20 in the afternoon. Winds from the east or SE starting somewhere between 7-15 kn and building into the mid/upper teens by 1:00pm

The snow will probably hold off until the evening, possibly late.
