11/25/2015 7:00 AM 0.62 1.5 0.62 27.0 M Tuesday saw overcast skies with morning snow turning to freezing rain by early afternoon and then stopping until early evening when the freezing rain/rain mix returned and continues now along with calm winds and a flat temp range of 32.5°F to 23.6°F; snow pack is now mostly saturated and there is some slight build up of ice in cooler areas near the ground.
