The snow which had been expected for so long did fall last night, and there was a light dusting of snow this morning. However, only 1.5 inches fell, and the rise in temperature after dawn (which peaked at 36°F) caused all of the snow on the roads to melt very quickly. Very little accumulation remained on the ground by the time of this observation (a little later tonight due to scheduling conflicts). At 8:15 it was 33°F with a moderate wind of 10 mph out of the West. It was overcast, but the clouds were higher than they had been last night so I am tempted to call them stratoculumus by comparing them to my cloud chart, but then it is also hard to tell because it is dark (although not as hard as you might think, perhaps as a result of light pollution).
