early wet snow

Yes, your eyes are working. :-) We had a very sloppy day with some wet snow in my area. I had to drive to a mall about 25 miles away to pick up my computer from the Apple Store and it was a messy drive to the mall with a heavy wet snow falling for most of the trip. By the time I left the wet snow was beginning to taper off. I saw two trucks from my local roads department sanding the roads.

I would say that we had a coating of wet snow on our lawn and by the time I got home from the mall, a very light slushy accumulation on the roads.

Go here for some pictures.
