Looks like a mix of some snow and drizzle..maybe zr. About 2cm maybe.

Current radar image looks like a donut hole headed straight towards Abby, it's filling in now. I wonder if that's the southerly's that are next.

Too dry lower levels..now quick transition looks imminent...slowly heading east. 1 to 2 cms will be big numbers for western sections if at all

Based on what's falling here..my guess is most western areas and lower levels are rain or mix at best.

The yellow blob was hope. Massive flakes has quickly changed to mostly rain. The end for western valley sections. Abby is next real soon.

I'm getting nuked right now.. but judging by the size of the flakes, the rain isn't far away... too bad because I'm still well below freezing, -2.5C.
