We had our first snow on the 18th.  It's been so warm there was only a skift of snow on the grass, none of the roads or walks. We are having chilly weather now, with night temperatures in the 30's and day temperatures in the 40s.
We had a sprinkling of rain all day today.

From the dictionary of American Regional English:
