Still mostly clear with the LM getting shadowed. Most moisture doesn't really break through until the latter AM. Sun should allow surface temps to warm up.

Not worried about sizeable accumulations and snow causing issues on the road today.

looks like a shower passed through here at some point. Roads are wet. No sign of snow..or slush. Looks like another hyped up non-event :clap: :clap:

upon further obs, it is obvious that it did in fact snow, not rain, as some of the vehicles have a skim coating of snow(est. 1-2mm). Based on the visual evidence, it appears that the flakes were on the larger size(expected), so likely just a decent, brief flurry. Otherwise, pretty much bone dry so far since yesterday morning in the #Donuthole :silent:

Min of -0.7˚C here. No snow yet.

Mesoscale models last night were saying the best chances would be between 09:00 and 12:00 local time today.

Many will see flakes, but an impactful event is highly unlikely at sea level. Called it yesterday.
It's called clown range for a reason.

started out as SS-0 "Snowscale 0" (tiny flakes(1-2mm)...fairly sparse) has now blossomed to SS-2, with slightly larger flakes(2-4mm), decent intensity

important to note that on impact, the flakes are landing cold, not melting on impact due to the colder overnight temps :lol: :lol:
