PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
28 here also, but with a lot of frost. Had many hours of calm winds here. Looking at obs from Grand Rapids, it looks like winds stayed up a little. That could've made the difference.
Spent about 8 hours with temps at/below 32 here. Not a problem though because I've learned from getting burned in the past to just prepare accordingly (outdoor plants) in case it gets colder than expected. It was sort of an ideal scenario to end up on the colder side of expectations because yesterday was very chilly with the wind off the lake -- high only made it to the low 40s -- which gave us a head start on nocturnal cooling, and then the wind slackened and eventually went calm.
