First trace of snow for the season

The first “snow” of the season arrived at the Commerce Building around 11:55 this morning. Moderate snow, reducing visibility to about a mile and consisting of small snow grains (tiny pellets), fell for about 4 minutes. The temperature at the time was around 40° and the grains melted instantly on contact.

It was a small cell of snow that appeared to develop just west of Allen County and a little north of US 30 around 10:36. It moved east-southeastward across the city and dissipated around 13:00 as it approached the Ohio border (see animation at right, captured from wunderground.com).
