It has been snowing here all morning, grass is turning white, there are some slippery spots on the roads. But it is very localized, I am right on the edge of the snow. Just a mile or two North or East and it is only raining. Moderate rain up around the Hamilton Mall for example.

Big white flakes falling now, calm wind. This storm doesn't seem to have moved much since morning. If it were a little colder, the snow would be piling up. Here are the precip totals so far
