// Interpretation
VFR with winds calm. Visibility unreported and no reported cloud layers. Reported weather: light snow and haze (-SN HZ). Haze is fine dust, salt, or pollution particles suspended in dry air — it reduces visibility and washes out contrast, a dry particulate obscuration rather than a moisture one. Note that automated stations can't chemically tell smoke from haze — during a regional smoke event, this may in fact be drifting wildfire smoke reported as haze. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.
