It snowed all day Saturday but nothing accumulated. Saturday's high temperature was less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Sunday was sunny and warm with a high temperature in the mid to upper 50s. It was amazing to think that such weather can occur on consecutive days.

The weathermen are saying snow tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night. Forecasts of up to 15 cm are circulating. I'm expecting that we'll be lucky to have any sticking snow, but I'm excited about the possibility.
