The year may not quite be over yet but I think its OK to look back at the weather of 2014 from a high level graphical point of view:

Extremes above show a high of 91 and a low of –3. 39” of rain. All of these weather stats were recorded on my Davis VantageVUE (rooftop) and recorded and displayed via WUnderground. As such, since the rain gauge is not heated, frozen precip will be missing so the actual precip is higher.

I love looking at the year in a line chart above. It shows nice correlation on some of the data. For instance the high wind gust in January occurred at the same time as the low pressure on the same day.

Looking ahead today, New Years Eve, will be similar to yesterday. Partly cloudy, a light breeze and chilly with highs only reaching around freezing. Tonight if you are planning on being outside at all around midnight expect temperatures in the lower 20’s so bundle up!

Similar weather on Friday and increasing clouds on Saturday with a cold rain later in the afternoon into the evening. There could be some sleet mixed in at the beginning in the normally colder sections to the north and west. Sunday could see some shower chances. Colder weather returns as we all head back to work and school.

Happy New Year!
