Very light but settling on car roofs.
Have to admit I'm surprised, I thought the precipitation was staying
very much further north and west of here today, with nothing here
until later in the weekend.


... just started snowing here (09/2040Z); a few flakes lazily floating
down.


.... (09/2130Z): light snow (often fine, seldom larger flakes) since
above report - always in the 'just about' category; a few patches of
snow-lying now appearing on grass otherwise no impact.
