Wintry Nov 30-Dec 1 Flurries/Snow Showers

With the freezing level at or below 900mb in this sounding, we could probably snow w/ surface temps well above freezing, arguably in the 40s even.

Given the cold air aloft would heavier rates help in that situation to cool the surface effectively, especially if there’s a dewpoint spread ?

Yeah absolutely, you'd have melting, sublimation, downward sensible heat transfer, & adiabatic lift all acting to cool the column
