It hit 64F here yesterday, and now that the cold front has come through it is 35F and spitting a light, wet snow. Nothing is going to stick though because the ground is too warm. Projected high today is 37F and a low of 24F.
Current radar for my area:
Raining in the lower elevations of WV

That's not why it wont stick. lol I think this has been proven a false statement many times.
Write down "T" in your log though if nothing accumulates or even if it does but not enough to measure.. 1st snow for you?
Here's what NWS Charleston says.. Need that precip to fall heavy for it to accumulate and that might happen for some areas later on. Too bad its daytime though

Cold frontal boundary to the east of the CWA, with -shra and gusty
winds continuing behind the front. Behind the front, colder air
filtering into the region, and expecting temperatures to fall
throughout the morning and possibly early afternoon, before holding
somewhat steady. The gusty winds will continue for most of the day
with tight pressure gradient and caa occurring.
As the colder air filters in, any lingering rain showers will
gradually change over to either a mix or light upslope snow showers
across the northern mountains. There still looks to be an uptick in the precipitation later this afternoon and evening, as a series of upper disturbances move across the north. This will lead to an increasing chance of accumulating snows across the mountains, with a rain/snow mix expected across much of southeast Ohio and northern WV zones, before transitioning to all snow overnight.
Still looking at little to no snow accumulation across the northern WV lowland counties, with a general 1 to 4 inches across Randolph, Webster, and Pocahontas counties, with the higher amounts in favored upslope areas. Will continue the WSY across the higher terrain of these
counties.
Snow will gradually taper off towards morning as high pressure
builds into the region from the west, and flow becomes less
favorable.

If it's a light dusting of snow, it won't stick because the ground is warm. If we got an inch or two that came down really quickly, it would stick. We aren't supposed to get any measurable accumulation today.
No, it isn't the first time we've had snowflakes this year; this is the second time it has snowed. The first snowflakes of the season fell on October 29.

Yup.. THATS why its not sticking... The rate of fall is not heavy enough. Ground being warm isn't a factor if its falling hard enough. Maybe later but being daytime with solar radiation not helping. Maybe tonight if there's enough left over?

But at least we get the chance of Lake Effect Streaming clouds.

Winds gradually decrease tonight, although will still remain
quite gusty with the departing low still strengthening as it
lifts into SE Canada and high pres building to the S. All high
res guidance indicates that lake effect streamers remain N and W
of the area, except perhaps for a few hours this eve in Orange
County
Next chance of rain is Wednesday and then again Lake effect NW streamers after it leaves and no snow here.
Seems like the cold air is chasing the warm moist air so far.
And wow...It's Mid Spring again! Near 60° at 9am. lol. Nothing stable about the climate here.. Summer, Winter, Spring, Fall all within 1-2 weeks time.
Black lines are the isobar pressure, they are getting tighter now.. Center of the storm now just over the U.S border. Temps will start dropping now as the winds are from the NW
But at least we get the chance of Lake Effect Streaming clouds.

We had a some wet snowflakes a couple weeks ago mixing with the rain. I thought I saw a snowflake yesterday afternoon, but it was probably my imagination lol. It was in the 30s/low 40s with rain though.
Wind Advisory here until 4:00. Gusts near 30 MPH. Sun has peaked out, but it's mostly cloudy...47 F/8 C (right before the 10AM update).
