Cloudy, fine snow, soft snow pellets for a good portion of the day. High Ground fog, rime in spots. Windy as well.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

A windy overnight event. Measurements are took in a relatively calm non wind impacted area. The Wisp reported 1″. I am certain more than 1″ fell there as well.

Cloudy, foggy, breezy, snow pellets, snow shower, drizzle, freezing drizzle early to mid morning then BAM rapid clearing. Temp maxes occurring shortly after midnight as you’ll see from temp graphs and the RTMA below. A afternoon rebound did occur some.
