That overnight flurry will help things out this morning as there is likely a slushy film on the grass already in place. Car tops and rooftops have a skim coating of white on them from overnight as well
:clap:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

small to medium sized flakes and fairly strong intensity. It looks like car tops and grass are getting slushy now :thumbup:

Coming down pretty hard at times but no accumulation. There's some yellow blobs forming on the radar now so favoured areas might score a fleeting slushy dusting.
It's called clown range for a reason.

looks like it must have been close to freezing this morning, but now you can just tell when the temp has risen and the snow melts on impact more readily. Unless the clouds thicken up fast and the radar lights up like a Christmas Tree, the threat of accumulating snow diminishes exponentially with time at this time of the year due to the higher sun angles.

Best of all, most of that falls overnight and early morning and is not part of what is falling and melting now. I am skeptical but we shall see.
