12z Euro runs PortKells just posted call for flurries in western areas, too. Probably going to happen.

I was expecting to run into icy streets in the hail zone this morning (it was slushy yesterday evening). Nope, completely dry.

An eye popping airmass in the semi-long range. It drops straight out of Alaska. Those kinds of arctic outbreaks can be seriously productive here which might explain why those snow ensembles look so good in the long range.

But hey, Nito needs to mow his lawn so...

Is anyone else seeing snow? It's like a very fine snizzle here. Can't really see unless you squint but occasionally can feel flecks of cold wet hitting your face.
