Flurries this morning. No significant accumulation.
It's called clown range for a reason.

If so, it almost certainly will not make the eastward turn your arrow indicates. It will continue southeastward. Classic set-up that favours western areas over eastern ones.

Imma be honest, I drew that arrow with no regard for precision LOL. My point is that it was moving toward Metro.

The flurries are melting on paved surfaces but on grass and existing snow there is evidence of accumulation

Nito knows..the first flurry of action was the warm frontal precip. It has now lifted North. This event is on wobbly legs atm :? unless we score a direct hit soon, with high precip rates,before the higher sun angles warm the temps up. :damn: :damn: :damn:
Tell em Nito!! :thanks:

Very mild few weeks coming with a prominent GOA vortex

Hints NPAC blocking towards the end :flakey: . Catnip should trademark an #EarlyFebruary brand. I would buy an #EarlyFebruary t-shirt.

Could've got 5cm here if Nito didn't turn off the tap. Temps now rising, next wave most likely rain .

This is wet snow but it's enough intensity to slowly overwhelm the ground. At least in Western sections.
