Been a pretty day so far, right? The sun has been shining and the birds have been tweeting. Little bit of bracing breeze, maybe. But that’s OK.

WATCH OUT!

Behold the Hopperesque image at right, which was just captured at Murray Field Airport. Clouds are gathering. And soon, according to the National Weather Service, clouds will be pouring rain and snow and maybe even some hail all over the county. Maybe not the same clouds that you see in the picture — we’re not really clear about that — but some kind of clouds.

One hundred percent chance of precipitation tonight and tomorrow, folks. And you know what else? It’s going to be windy, and there might be thunder, and it’s gonna snow up the dickens up there in the hills. We’re looking at up to three inches sticking down to 3,500 feet in elevation.

Here’s the latest all-caps winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service, which —- hold the phone! — will soon be dropping its all-caps format in light of recent technological innovations that have superseded the telegraph:
