A bit of a dreary start, but turning into a nice late morning, early afternoon, before clouds and rain pushed in, in the evening. Accompanied by some thunder/lightning, some pockets of hail, some heavy downpours, that went over to snow, first in the Wv high ground and then north.

Comments by Dave Lesher at:
Mostly cloudy and mild, warming to 53F by mid afternoon, then clouds rolling in with rain commencing shortly before nightfall along with several thunderclaps and a brief fall of pea hail. Rapidly falling temperatures changed the rain to snow by 7PM, continuing through the evening. Heavy snow lays down 4 inches by 10PM.
