We had a freak snowstorm yesterday.  Three and a half inches accumulated before it was frozen in place by a few hours of freezing rain.  It turned back into snow and showers fell through last night and into this morning.  This is one of the latest snowfalls I've experienced since I moved to New York, and the second-latest snow accumulation.  It is definitely the latest day with complete snow cover.

P.S. We lost a lot of branches due to the weight of the snow.

We went from above normal temperatures to below normal temperatures.  The past couple of weeks have been cool (highs in the 30s and 40s Fahrenheit).  It has snowed three or four times.  It is incredibly dry.  A burn ban is effect in our county - something that - as far as I know - has never happened this early.
