Snowfall a combination of frozen slush & snow; with the howling wind it was hard to keep any snow on board. Sure there was more snow than reported. Snow packed on outside gauge NNW side. Streets clear of snow/ice & most snow on grass blew away leaving more grass showing; power off (unusual) during the night for a very short time. Clear with broken clouds near E horizon; quite breezy; very chilly 20º. Hi 53º, lo 20º. 11:45am-sun shining between clouds; mid PM-wind picking up in velocity; 4pm-lite rain; 4:15pm-fine snow beginning; 4:20pm-large flakes appearing finally changing to all snow shortly on strong wind blowing snow horizontally. |
