I don't run a node but I have the Snowflake plugin installed in Firefox.
It seems to be an uptick in Tor activity, as yesterday alone it served over 30 different clients. While last year it would hardly get any.
Upgraded to better ISP since, in case that makes a difference how proxies are chosen.

Snowflake addresses NAT traversal by [WebRTC’s ICE negotiation], among a number of new advantages. > CDNs serve not only their own web services, but also services that users may host on their platforms, such as App Engine. Snowflake currently hosts the [ICE negotiation] on App Engine, but will also do so on other services.
