Not much right now. Has died off since the snow started coming down. It was breezy from the east most of the day. Maybe 20-30kmh. We are kind of tucked behind a hill here though. It was probably gusting to 40 earlier this evening just to the east of here, towards the village.

Appears that a more organized fetch of moisture could be getting Covid essential clearance to cross the border and move in towards southern areas of the LM in the next 30-45 min.
But again, it’s so dry that it could just be circa so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I gave it an hour. Temp down to 0.8C now. A winter wonderland. Moderate snow at times with about 1.5cm down. Even the roads are solidly covered.

Cloudy and getting some decent NE wind gusts. Temp has risen to 4.1c, dp sitting at -2.2c.

I'll either see some showers later or that precip shield will get shredded before it gets here.
