It has been snowing pretty much constantly here since 12:30. Mostly light with some heavier burst like the one about ten minutes ago. Still not sticking to the pavement but I'm picking up nice accumulations on the grass. Can't wait to get home about 5:30 and measure to see how much more I need to get to 7".

Funny thing is, judging by radar you wouldn't think it was snowing as hard as its been. If it was January this would have been a high impact event.

Nice snowshower just came off the Sound and into town...temps and light conditions *almost* good enough for snow to start sticking....

This is a setup similar to what goes on in the southern U.S. frequently when Tstorms move in from the warm to cold sector...this happened in north Texas a few years ago and places saw 10-12 inches of snow even though it was 35/32 or 34/32 when the precip moved in, and that was during the day.
