Here is a look at preferred snow “falling from the sky”.  Around 0.25″ – 0.75″ looks to fall from the sky with some isolated higher possible.  Most of this looks to be on grassy elevated surfaces.  It is also possible that the area of snow gets “squeezed” into a more narrow corridor.  Please watch video for further details.
