Another Dusting

This morning's weather photo

It wasn't too bad here yesterday with temps a few degrees above freezing,dropping off in the evening to a few degrees below,no precip.
Overnight the forecast disturbance moved into our area and we are currently experiencing some light snow. 10 cms is forecast for this area with some wind to blow it around.Temps are expected to reach the freezing point so we may possibly see a change over to rain.So far,it is releatively calm and the long range radar is showing us to be on the warm side of the snow/rain line in the aproaching system.
