Early morning snow, giving way to cloudy skies that parted late for a little sun. Some rime up high and especially across Wv high ground that had some freezing drizzle overnight and today. The snow stayed mainly north.

New snowfall 3.1″ through the 7:45am boardsweep as snow was winding down with only a trace beyond that.

Snow depth of 3.6″ of a wet heavy snow. Some areas, depending on surface melted underneath some, some areas of conifers, saw snow accumulate more in the trees vs what made it to the ground.

Periods of mainly sleet and freezing rain overnight with very little snow. The last of the very light snow ended by mid morning then remaining cloudy all day with high temperature only 34F.

For whatever reason they update the days temps before the day is over..really makes no sense. Then updates again. So I missed having the graph end on the 15th.
