Snowfall:

Bittinger 2nw Valley- picked up 1.3″ overnight of absolute fluff. Event total of 4.2″. A morning snowdepth of 4.0″ and a 6pm snow depth of 2.8 with cold temps today, so that gives an idea of how much fluff this was, as in- mostly air with the flakes softly landing and stacking on top each other without settling. This brings the season to date total of 4.5″

Canaan Heights_Davis 3SE picked up 5.2″ event total 5.9″ and year to date 6.9″

Very pleasant day. Mix of clouds and sun.

Temps today

Valley site vs Cabin Mt

Early evening and often the case with an incoming cold front with precip, conditions go calm in the Valley, skies- if clear or partly cloudy temps will obviously drop greater, but temps usually fall off fast, then rise fast ahead of the front as winds increase. Case in point- the Valley last night.

Mostly cloudy, scattered flurries, light snow showers…mainly just overcast, brief peaks of sun. Coldest day of the season to date. After dark, skies cleared, temps fell in the valleys. Most high ground temps were midnight and held teens all day.

Snowfall in the future?? After temps modify milder Sunday, Monday, rain will return during the day and transition to snow Monday night. Snow with the wave of precip, with the artic front that should contain a squall line that can drop a quick 1-2″ and some upslope to follow into Tuesday night. All told, a 3-6″ snowfall event for the Alleghenies looks possible. These numbers will be tweaked as we get closer..

Following that, a brief shot of bitter cold, followed by a modified zonal flow of Pacific air.

Temps today

Valley site vs Cabin Mt

On NW winds, when conditions are equal, your basic 3.5° per 1000′ plays out. As seen all afternoon. It appears around midnight, things were calm in the.valley, winds picked up, temps spiked, then with cloud cover, things went calm around 7am(which is 12UTC) and temps fell back, but not as much had skies been clear. More of the refrigeration effect.
