The hours leading into events are always my favorite. No matter how much frozen is forecast to fall, it's always wonderful watching the cirrus shield out the sun and give those lovely sunsets.
Good catch. We seem to win the most when the boundary is laid ahead of the southern stream energy, but not so far off that we lack enough lift to maximize the potential.
Jan 2018 was a legit ice storm in NW Montgomery County. IIRC, we got upgraded to an Ice Storm Warning after trees started coming down and pulling electrical lines off houses and starting fires at the meters.
Would absolutely love to see high temperatures kept below 25 today. It's been years since I've experienced that. Cold, dry, grey winter days are delightful.
If you could get 3 copies, that would be amazing. We're installing a station in Friendsville this spring and you're welcome to come by. Or you could DM me and mail the copies. Either way, we're very appreciative!
Yea that much is becoming certain. That's a good thing even up here. With expansive snow cover it reinforces our CAD potential and can mitigate a torch day.
It may not translate to much success up in these parts, but it's encouraging to see the storm overperform in Arkansas this evening. A couple of mesoscale discussions out and the surface obs are showing decent snowfall rates. If I were south of DC I would be optimistic.
