So far, a wimpy return to winter

All day Saturday (from around 7am to around 8pm) it snowed. Unfortunately, the temperature remained above freezing the entire time. This, coupled with a record warm January keeping the ground from remaining frozen, limited accumulation to grassy areas.

Guessing from the water equivalent, we had about 2" snow; though by the end of the day we struggled to keep 1" on the ground.

We had some lake effect snow almost reaching us today, and perhaps that is what fell during the Super Bowl. It only amounted to ¼" of light powder (the temperature today stayed in the mid to upper 20s).
