Moderate snow, accumulating on cold surfaces but the driveway and roads are 100% wet. 29.0F

Yeah...noticing that here too...

We've had mainly 'light' snow bursting. 29 also and it's still not sticking to the roads and driveway.

I'm not sure what the physics/material science aspect is wrt solar at this time of year, but the sky is 'bright' relative to a snowing ceiling. We are on the equatorial side of the perennial solar minimum at this point.  Speculative, but I wonder if were night .. would these lighter fall rates stick to those types of surfaces.  If/when it snows heavy it doesn't matter... but when it's this light fluffy stuff and the sky is lighter it may become a nose tickler event only

Looks like my area picked up another inch or so past hour. 

Amazing to see that efficient accumulation on roads in that photo of Morrissey by 93

Just a few miles away, good rates but we're very slow to accumulate on black asphalt. Accumulating great on unplowed and all other surfaces.

Widespread 3"+ with pockets to 6" in eastern SNE when all is said and done. Feels like winter, and not a terrible event relative to how much we've been shafted.

I don't get the asphalt obsession. Light snow on snow here. 2 inches total 

Some places around here salt the living shit out of the roads....you'll get wet roads on like 1/15 with temps of 25. But other towns are far less generous in their salt use and sometimes you'll drive into a snow packed road when you cross town lines if you are on non-state back roads.

I just use my driveway as a gauge for how well it is accumulating on non-treated pavement.
