Light rain right now. First wave of precip appears to be tapering off. Next wave later should be rain?

It's light flurries now. There's about an inch on the grass. It's actually fairly depressing.

Decided to make the best of it...lots of big fluffy flakes swirling around, not 20 cm but sure pretty...made some sweet and salty popcorn and taking a break to just watch it blow around.

Things look to be picking up again on the radar. Hopefully we can drop the temps a bit as we loose daylight.
