The Day After....

Wow, what a busy and exciting day yesterday was. The snow didn't necessarily take me by surprise, but I notice we would most likely see snow after I looked at the upper atmosphere reading, such as Timberline Lodge and Government Camp. When I saw that both of their temps were way below freezing, I knew we were going to see snow, but it did start out as sleet in the beginning. Our Official reading here for snowfall was .75" of the white stuff. The snow started falling around 1:15 PM and lasted to about 3:20 PM. Shortly thereafter, we started to see an increase in traffic accidents due to the roads freezing over. I tried to stand on my road before almost falling on my head. Cars with no traction tires, it was like suicide. It got pretty bad, but it was a nice little snow event in the end. Later into the night, the second wave came in, it started out as freezing rain but quickly turned to rain after moderating the upper air, as well as the surface. So, for the year..we have a .75" record so far, more to come later in the winter is probaly a sure bet. Take care!
