December 16, 2008 Weather: "Flurrious" Start


It is bad outside, we have flurries and snow but there's no accumulation since it has accompanying rain. Wet and gray today in Jersey City.

The temperature is in the low 40's, but the forecast says we haven't seen the worse for today.

We are going to have more rain today, and probably some snow.

I'll update if something significant happens.
