This unusually early ice-in follows a spring where we had 15" of snow mid April, bookends to one of the coolest summers we had in decades. Didn't feel like a traditional cool summer though, didn't feel cool at all in fact.

It was compacting as it snowed lightly after that. 1"/hr snowfall rate for about two hours. Heavy wet snow. It is close to freezing, but no melting is happening atm. Sample melted from the gauge was only 0.06", but I think some must have blown out of the gauge (winds were sideways ~10-15mph). I took another sample, and recorded 0.10" which I reported. The snow is fluffy despite temps being mild.

A hard rain would still cause issues, but it's looking pretty good here considering where the snow depth was just a month ago. EDIT: Still plenty of snow out there - changing to trace.
