We are expecting a winter mix bringing snow this afternoon.  My area seems to be right on the line between rain and snow, and I’m hoping for all snow.  We still have about an inch of ice under our existing snowpack which I was hoping to be rid of.  We don’t need anymore.  We have about 3 inches of snow on the ground with about an inch of ice under that.  There is light snow falling right now but not enough to add any accumulation.
