Banding of returns parrell to the 20-45mph NW winds that were blowing at the time.

The returns were light.

The returns were close to the radar and appear to be at low altitude.

The origin of the banding features is the "Iron Range".

Looks like blowing snow. Contact a professional meteorologist since you have stated previous that you think I am lying.
