Snowflakes And Sunshine...

7:03 pm - 15 degrees - 35+ mph winds...

Tony said that we have an odd phenomenon going on today.  There was not a cloud in the sky, yet it was snowing.  There was a low-level fog layer to the East, this is what was creating our snowflakes.  

The thick fog a couple miles East of us is dense enough for a single nuclei to freeze, allowing other fine water droplets to form around it creating a snowflake. The tiny snowflakes are then blown in by the high East winds.

Snowflakes and sunshine.
