Cold, wet and windy in Helotes

That arctic front finally made it into our area overnight, dropping temperatures from a high of 64 degrees at midnight, to our present low of 39 degrees in Helotes. With the light rain and wind, it's a bit on the "bone chillin" side out there.

The image I have posted shows the huge area of "Winter Storm Warnings" this morning across the central and eastern parts of the country...a pretty messy day for many people.

Our 24 hour rainfall total of .75 is not as much as was originally advertised by NOAA. Most of the storms and heavy rain tracked to our north last night. We only managed to get moderate rain and as far as I know, no thunder or lightning during the night. Certainly, no hail.

We should see some clearing later today, followed by a freeze tonight and possibly on Sunday night. Sunday may be our last chance to see the sun for almost a week, as a parade of El Niño storms comes marching across the south next week.
