Weather Conditions for the week of March 7th, 2011

Unfortunately midterms kept me busy the last couple weeks, so this last week I forgot to post updates on the Weather! So here is a little summary.

The big event of the week was the mini snowstorm we had on Wednesday. It was caused by the large frontal system that swept across the country affected both the northern and southern states.

Photo taken by me.

This picture was taken on my morning walk to class, around 9:30am. The snow began Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and continued until the afternoon. By evening it was done. The temperatures that day stayed in the low 30's.

Thursday was partly cloudy with what I would call Cumulus clouds. Sky coverage was probably at about 25-30% for most of the day. Earlier in the morning it was completely clear, with sky coverage at 0%. Clouds started to move in around 11 or noon.

On Friday it was sunny, I didn't notice the clouds that day. Early on in the morning there was a bit of evaporation fog, caused by the melting of the snow, along with hoar frost on the trees and ground. The temperatures were cooler later that evening, in the 20's.

Saturday it was overcast mostly to all of the day, with a blanket of stratus clouds. The temperatures remained in the low 30's for most of the day.
