Snow from a clear sky

That white falling from the clear sky is snow.

Odd enough, but the snow on the trees melted within a few hrs from last nights snowfall. And it is 12 degrees,.... 14 now.

You mean, you hope it is snow.

Are you sure it's not just blowing off your roof?

I'm also in Wisconsin,....
It looks and feels like snow. I damn sure not about to taste it, that's fer damn sure. Snowed last night, that snow on the ground is still there as the ground is frozen. But the snow that was on the trees a few hrs ago is now gone.

I just found it wild to have some melting (not on the ground) and snow from a clear sky at the same time.

i lived in the interior of alaska for 26 years. sounds normal to me. welcome to the new sub-arctic.

It could be flurries blown on the wind from existing snow if it is dry enough. I am from WI too and have seen the same thing happen myself.
It is very odd.
Maybe Kevin can give us some insight.

The state looks to be about 90% covered with clouds, perhaps some snow is falling at a high elevation far from you and a few flakes are drifting your way?

As for the snow melting, I noticed a couple of sunny, but cold (below freezing) days here where the snow 'reduced'. Kind of like maybe the Sun's rays were effecting the snow differently. And when everything is covered with snow, its not the ground melting it!

Maybe not new there,odd, but believable seeing as it's happening here now.

All air holds moisture, but just not used to having snow melting below freezing temps and snow from a blue sky is new to me.

volcanic ash?

I live in Michigan, last week it was way below the freezing point out at a clod 14F with clear skys and sunny. The sun felt very very warm and snow was melting off my roof so fast it was filling the gutters and pouring out in a slow flow. How the hell can this be when its only 14 out?
I even had to come in and double check the net weather channels.
This has happened 3 times since. Below freezing out, snow melting, sun feels hot.



and.. it's nice to see that i'm not the only one who has noticed this
