I'm going to estimate another 2 cm but it's compacting and melting now.

Snow stopped at some point overnight and the temperature started creeping upward. Never amounted to more than a slushy dusting despite it snowing for hours. Now 1.2ËšC with melting. At least it was snow.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Yeah, my final score is still 2.5 cm from last night's event, which is what I got yesterday evening before I went to bed.

Same. I estimated a further 0.5 cm mainly because there was more left over this morning than if it had rained all night.

All long range model runs now show a warmer and splityy outlook. Looks like winter is over.

Don't worry though. I am sure the cold and wet will return by late March and linger until our first heatdome in June.

I estimated about a cm fell (total, both before and after midnight) based on how much slush there was on surfaces that had melted bare by yesterday afternoon.

Agree. With some nice bommy temps around 17c would be nice somewhere in there too! Once Feb hits..we on the downward slope for snow. Unless you like slush? :roll:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)
