Another band of light snow moved slowly across the area during the morning. Salt
That was applied after the earlier snowfall pretty much kept this activity in check.
Also surface temperatures rose above 32 by midmorning which also kept any accumulation on paved surfaces in check for much of the area. Some folks may
have gone ahead and applied fresh salt to be safe.
