Today's 8-am Don Kent weather report shows we got an early wintry blast that's very similar to the last cold winter past.

We have received reports of icy, slippery roads, and white dusted hills and valleys, up on the higher elevations including Sandwich, Waterville Valley and Bethlehem, NH. The temperature is hovering at 28-degrees and winds are blowing from 20-40mph.

There was a back door cold front that crawled in, coming down from Canada and New York State, that pushed our earlier warmer air westward, replacing it with this cold dry air. The winds should be calming down as the morning progresses, and this afternoon should be sunny, calm and beautiful. A great afternoon to do some outdoor gardening, or go boating, while you can still get out on the water.

And, that's today's 8-am report for Thursday morning, October 18, 2018.

Hot off the teletype .... Washington reports that President Eisenhower plans to take the afternoon off, and go play 18-holes of golf, while soaking up that warm afternoon sun down in Washington DC.
