Weather Conditions

Pretty much as predicted or forecast.  Windy.  Day started with clear to patchy clouds in the sky. A gradually growing overcast crept in above with winds constantly growling out of the NNW.  Late night - actually - very early morning sprinkle of misty rain fell Saturday evening/Sunday morning.  Not enough to make much of a difference to the extremely dry conditions.
