01 | NOV. | 23rd | 0.8 | Event 1 | Yes | This was an all snow event but very little moisture and the temperature was above freezing while it was snowing. The maximum snow measurement was taken at 2220 and is the most snow this early in the season since 11-14-1996 when 0.9 inches occurred. |

The high ratio was because a large amount of air was trapped in the fluffy snow.
