Some snow early, the clearing north to south. the snow was mainly concentrated central to southern Alleghenies and areas around Snowshoe never got into the sun and stayed socked in the clouds.
I was fortunate enough to be in the heavy band. 4.1″ in 2 hours. It did snow some beyond this period, with a bit of graupel. Never enough though to boost the accumulation. It settled as it snowed.
