A heavy, west, sticky snowfall, coating the north faces of many well-exposed tree trunks, piled up on thin twigs and small branches. This happened despite the presence of 15-25-mph north winds through much of the event, which normally would both shake and directly blow the snow off. The limbs shook, but the snow stuck. This snow was so moist and dense that it fell in large aggregates, and had strong adhesion, in temperatures hovering right around freezing.
