Colder sheltered valleys overnight, and today. Rain pushing in by daybreak. Continuing through the day. Temps holding 30s colder pockets, 40s elsewhere.. 9-10pm the artic boundary crossed the area and temps dropped and rain to snow.

This sheltered location with snowcover and no wind held mid 30s the entire day until 1 minute spike just ahead of the front that allowed temps to briefly spike before rapidly dropping
