Temp holding steady at 32F here. A light glaze on above ground surfaces and had some pea size hail earlier. Watching reports out to the west, waiting for switchover later this afternoon.
Just happy that it looks like that western ridge is finally going to break down/back the f off into the Pacific and give us some chances. I'll take that over the sh*t we've been dealing with.
All of the ensembles are pretty disheartening for any type of change away from the position of that western ridge - That look has been so f'ing persistent...
This is wild
As a result, the
expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually
intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour,
frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail.
