Snow Saturday Night

Today was a cold, dark and damp day with some light rain showers around. The steady rain should arrive around 11 PM, allowing the Sox game to be squeezed in. Although, it will be cold and windy. The rain should continue steadily through the early afternoon, then taper off. However, at the tail end of the storm enough cold air will come down from the north to change the rain to brief period of steady snow before tapering to snow showers.

  1. Concerning Thursday's entry about the volcano, any indication that the eruption will have any impact on the larger volcano that is nearby and that you referenced in an entry a few weeks ago as having the potential to affect weather in a major way?
