A quick report, as I'm out in town today... pretty gray out there, with fog and some very light snow coming down from time to time. VERY light, as in just a dusting on the trees.
The wind offshore has swung around to the north/northeast, which doesn't really result in much snow - if it comes more from the west we'd have uplift over the mountains, and probably more snowfall here. At least snow is on the menu for the coming days with only a little bit of clear predicted, and even the possibility of heavy snow later in the week. Personally I'd like to see it; it was pretty icy on the slopes yesterday. Powder over chatter, please.
