Snowfall in the future?? After temps modify milder Sunday, Monday, rain will return during the day and transition to snow Monday night. Snow with the wave of precip, with the artic front that should contain a squall line that can drop a quick 1-2″ and some upslope to follow into Tuesday night. All told, a 3-6″ snowfall event for the Alleghenies looks possible. These numbers will be tweaked as we get closer..
Following that, a brief shot of bitter cold, followed by a modified zonal flow of Pacific air.
Cloudy early,,rain mid morning on, falling temps to wet flakes over to light snow after nightfall.

Valley site vs Cabin Mt
On NW winds, when conditions are equal, your basic 3.5° per 1000′ plays out. As seen all afternoon. It appears around midnight, things were calm in the.valley, winds picked up, temps spiked, then with cloud cover, things went calm around 7am(which is 12UTC) and temps fell back, but not as much had skies been clear. More of the refrigeration effect.

Snowshoe
Snow guns were on, it looked, felt like winter. Cold winds blowing Snow guns ran until midday and returned after dark for a short time. Still a little natural snow left under the Spruce and north facing areas.
Highland Scenic Highway
Little snow in shady and north facing areas remain
Cranberry Glades
Patches of snow, also while the winds were very strong overnight across the high ground, there was frost on the Glades, to me, indicating winds were calm here.
Falls of Hills Creek
Touch of snow in shady spots up top….the creek flowing nicely today…
Clear, very cold, frosty start. Very pretty out. A super nice day. Very low dewpoints. Low enough it allowed the light snow accumulation across the Wv high ground from yesterday morning to last through today, despite temps 35-40.

Some random morning snow showers, flurries. Some areas white, some not. Just how the random nature of the moderate pockets worked out. Windy overnight, dying off today but not before leaving many without electric.
