We had only a trace of snow around the county Friday into Saturday, but we did have very thick fog and freezing fog overnight. Figure 1 shows the meager, but needed, rainfall/water equivalents that fell.
Our storm is pulling out to the east creating a blizzard in the Great Plains, Our next storm is swinging in from the northwestern coast of the U.S. (Figure 2).

The next storm arrives today giving us light snow off and on all day, but the temperatures will be above freezing during the day (Figure 3). Temperatures bottom out on Monday (some models keep us below freezing for a day). There is a hint of another, late week, storm on the horizon.
