Yes, I named it after photographer and motion picture pioneer Eadweard Muybridge, who was born on April 9, 1830.  (An animated series of his photographs appears in this post.)

Anyway, snow on April 9th.  What in the name of Old Man Winter's frosty nostrils is going on?

So Friday 4/8: Breezy and cooler with times of clouds and sun.  High of 50, or just a hair above, but it's going to feel no warmer than the low 40s.

Saturday 4/9 will start out right around freezing and won't get out of the 30s all day.  Expect scattered snow showers between about 6am and noon, which will mix with (then turn to) rain.  We may see a bit more snow as the precipitation moves out, around 6pm to 8pm.  (Winds will increase late Saturday as well.)  Fortunately, this is April and it would need to snow furiously for a good long while to accumulate on paved surfaces.  So aside from slightly reduced visibility during snowfall and about a coating to an inch of accumulation on grass and whatnot, the Eadweard Muybridge's birthday storm will have little impact.

I forgot to talk about Sunday 4/10.  So now I will.

Clearing, sunny, highs in the mid 40s.  Totally fine.

Boo ya.
