I was beginning to fade this morning when an Imminent Threat Alert from the National Weather Service came at 4:29am and the phone made an unfamiliar sound so of course it got my attention. Well, I got up and saw what this snow squall line is about.

If you were driving, I could see it being a white out condition. The winds were certainly very impressive, but the snow wasn’t heavy enough for a total white out except for brief periods. It did coat the roads and I’m sure that it was slippery.

The snow left as quickly as it came. Leaving a dusting that was mostly gone by the time I got back up later this morning. I’ve had it with the below average temps and strong winds though.
