More Early Season Snow

Thanksgiving was one of those winter days where the highest temperature of the day occurs shortly after midnight and the temperature steadily slides throughout the day. The breezes bringing the cold air also produced interesting fingers of snow reaching out from Lake Michigan (which, according to Google Earth, is 98.61 miles WNW (-60°) from our house). We were occasionally within the fringes of those fingers on Thanksgiving; but none brought any accumulation.

One week later, on 1 December, we had snow move up from the southwest. At work, on the west side of Fort Wayne, we had perhaps nearly 2" of snow. At home, however, the ground was not even covered and we probably had less than ½" snow.

We had more snow showers Friday, with perhaps another ½" snow total.

Last night (3 December), it began snowing around 2100 and continued steadily through the early morning hours. We awoke to find almost 3" of snow on the ground here.
