Okay, another stupid winter question from the inexperienced CA girl...
How can it snow when the temp is well above freezing? 'Cause the water's freezing up in the clouds where it *is* below freezing?
4.5C overnight but snow advisory.
Advisory? You might get some snow falling if it's colder higher up in the atmosphere, but it's not going to accumulate.
Might be a mixture of rain, freezing and wet snow.
It is colder at cloud level than on the ground.
Freezing rain is by far the weirdest... Snow falls from cold air, goes through a layer of warmer air that melts it and then right away through another layer of cold air that makes everything freeze on contact
I didn't realize how many forms of frozen water existed, I was introduced to graupel the other day.
Have you met freezing fog yet?
No, but I heard a story about it and I'm good staying un-introduced!

The picture didn't load and then I got distracted by "Andrew Shue" trending…I think that was the better decision.
Well it *eventually* loaded you didn't have to save it here for all eternity!!

Okay so it's actually a Special Weather Statement, they use the same notification style as advisories and warnings, and the fine print does say "little accumulation" so I think you're on to something. I just knew it was supposed to be lows 40s overnight so I was confused when I saw "snow".

If they are currently losing, I suppose I'm safe?
They have kicked me out of the game threads in the past, so you are right to be nervous
Cathy, how's the temperature in your place? Are the windows drafty? If so you can put plastic over them.
