Clear start, with some clouds building. Some snow showers across high Wv ground and a in parts of Garrett and scattered in Pa. I only had a few stray flurries. Despite late March sun, and temps creeping above freezing, very dry air allowed for the winds to still blow some snow around the entire day.
