short but I enjoyed it. 

I’m with you, it was fun to watch. With these you have to set expectations on duration and amounts, it’s all about the heavy snow and almost borderline blizzard like conditions when the embedded gusts gets the snow on the ground going and the heavy falling snow going horizontal.

Sun is out but now getting some 40 mph gusts. Really blowing the snow around. Kind of neat to see. 

 

It it looks like a smaller band about to coming down from the northwestern part of the county.

Yeah I was thinking the same - ground blizzard at times with sun in between. Pretty cool.

Second batch has arrived with heavy snow. Looks to be shorter lived. Also, the sun has been peaking through at times, despite snowing pretty heavily.

Yeah, I’m actually thinking the sun probably helps with some instability which might help enhance some of the snow showers and wind.
