Jan 29(Wed)
A cloudy day after a early morning period of less than an hour of sun in spots, some fog yet skirting the high ground. Forecast called for mostly sunny skies all day, that never occured. Some light snow fell overnight into the morning. The rime across the high ground is gorgeous.
Skies cleared after dark for several hours allowing temps to plummet(view valley sites below)

Check out the brief window of clear skies after nightfall- that would be the temp plummet. Clouds rolled right back in, temps responded accordingly.

Incomplete data-Weatherunderground did an update, some stations were impacted. I am guessing the case here
