Fog Snow

We had odd snow this morning.



This is from the local weather talking head.

We don't have any sort of storm moving overhead, it's just that kind of moisture in the low levels of the atmosphere. What's currently happening is those super cool little droplets are hitting one another, and as they hit each other they're freezing. And if they do that enough they run into other drops and eventually gravity wins out and pulls them down to the ground.

So, what looks like snow this morning is coming out of the fog.

A deeper explanation meteorologically is confusing, so we'll just say we got a little bit of snow coming out of the fog. So, just be ready for that.

  1. We had weird rain/fog the other day. It was droplets but not raining. What next?

  3. We had rain the other day, with a temperature just below freezing. Not January weather for here. Thankfully it wasn't enough to cause a coating of ice on everything when the temperature dropped.
