A Winter Wonderland....yuck!!

This morning's weather photo

We had snow all day yesterday.The temperature was just low enough that there wasn't any change over to rain and we got about 10cms by the time it was over.It was also fairly windy.The storm was over in the late evening and the sky started to clear with the wind remaining fairly brisk.
Overnight it completely cleared and the wind died out.We should see some melting today with temps rising to above freezing and sunshine expected.
