First Flakes of the Season, 2010-2011

While on the way over to my brother’s house, a small rain/snow shower developed yesterday evening. I saw only rain coming from the clouds, but my brother saw rain and snow mix at this house for a few minutes. The event actually made the ground wet at his house. After it ended, the clouds parted and it became a mostly clear evening. None of the local meteorologists were calling for any precipitation yesterday evening.

The bigger news story is the Alberta clipper set to hit the area this evening into tonight. The forecast is as follows from NOAA:

Today: A chance of sprinkles and flurries after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 42. Northwest wind between 6 and 8 mph.
