Snow or no snow?

@7:53pm

The radar shows that there's snow over Bloomington right now but nothing is falling outside.

The air is just too dry for for snow. Look at this sounding:


The farther apart the green line is from the red line means the drier the atmosphere is. The closer together they are, the more saturated the atmosphere is. 15km is 9 miles up in the air. 0km is at ground level. So, between 0 and 3km; the air nearest the ground is very dry and snow is likely evaporating before it hits the ground.
