Overnight Roanoke received somewhere in the middle a few flurries and a measureable amount of of snow. Just enough to gently coat the grass areas, the roads in my neighborhood and when driving to work were clear.

Roanoke receives a trace of snow this morning (11-18-08).

It’s barely a trace, with the fallen leafs and grass having to strain a little to reach above the icy cold covering. I don’t recall from recent years Roanoke as having received any noticeable amount of snow this early in the season.

Is it a small sign of the kind of Winter that may be coming?
