I remember being very suspicious of the huge forecast for interior West and West Central areas. Was also very suspicious of the foot plus forecasts well back into the mid and upper HV
We had just been crushed in 2/13. I had a hard time buying lightning would strike again so soon.
Things must be moving at lightening speed in the atmosphere. Just a few hours ago snow showers ushered in some colder air and windy conditions. A few hours later the wind is diminishing and the shade of blue in the sky has turned lighter and the sky is peppered with some cirrus out ahead of the next change in weather. In just 5 hours.
I HATED THAT STORM!!
Partly Sunny, windy and frigid with 6 inches of Arctic sand while twenty miles east was S++++ and wound up measuring in feet that Tuesday.
Widespread forecasts of 15 to 30 inches. It was eerily similar to Jan 2005.
It is nice to see good ice on the local ponds. Legit good skating and ice hockey conditions and while chilly its a beautiful winter day with high clouds mixed with sunshine. Modest WSW breeze.
The snow from Sunday hanging tough.
So excited for you guys down there, some folks will see some of the best a coastal snowstorm has to offer...at least briefly. I think someone will get close to a foot
I feel like this is pretty darn exciting!! Some places down there will at least briefly see S++,maybe even a little TSSN.....They're gonna loose their minds
If we're gonna get boned here, I hope it's an inch or less. This town does a horrible job with the roads and I have stuff to do.
Maybe we'll put this cold air to good use in February. I think I am punting the rest of this month.
Be something to get some juiced southern stream system to ride up the coast and overrun next week's butter temps to produce a region wide powder keg. That would really be old fashioned style winter weather.
The lightest dusting last night. Like fine powdered sugar to finish off a dessert presentation. It was really cool last night as the very light and very fine snow drifted down under a hazy moonlit sky.
