Sun is doing all the work

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 06:08 AM

The featured graph displays the combination of wind direction, solar radiation, and air temperature for the past three days. While we have seen plenty of sunshine, a persistent northwesterly breeze has not helped to warm our temperatures any. The uptrend of temperature is nicely shown with the sun making a degree or two of progress each day. This pattern looks to continue this week until a winter storm arrives for the weekend. Perhaps this pattern will break next week with southerly winds helping out the sun's effort to melt the snow!
