About a half hour ago I noticed that some of that white stuff was coming down, light to moderate but not settling, still falling as sleet, not so heavy, temp dropped from 2.5C to 2.2C, now rising a tad to 2.3C.

Continuous light-moderate wet snow throughout yesterday evening, the snow becoming intermittent after midnight and followed by a few snow showers earlier this morning. With the temperature above 0c throughout the night the snow was thawing as fast as it was accumulating and the depth changed little from early evening.

During the early morning the lying snow froze and untreated roads are a sheet of ice.

Currently cold and sunny.
