Early round of moderate snow at daybreak put down around a half inch and ended just prior to the 7am recordings. In areas, my area, and most areas under 3000′, this melted off until some heavier pockets began showing up midday. I never melted off after that, but many areas did. Snow/melt/snow/melt. Evening and into the over night activity increased.
