NWS office and local radio staions reporting some flakes of snow falling out of the marine enhanced clouds coming off the Atlantic near Cape Canaveral and north Merritt Island.

KMLB 88D is showing some echoes as high as 12-16dBZ streaming SSW toward the space and treasure coasts.

Temps at cloud level are about -6C. This would qualify as a true "Ocean-effect" event. I hope someone up there has pictures!

The snow has been falling off and on throughout the day. The flurries, which didn't stick, were described by meteorologists as ocean-effect snow, similar to the lake-effect flurries familiar to the frigid cities of Chicago and Cleveland.

They still have possible flurries for my area tonight, but there aint a cloud in the sky, so I dont see it happening..plus the NWS says we should hit freezing at around 10:00pm we will not say that when I went to check my thermo it is already 28f outside, and they insist we are 37 :?
