Still occasional light flakes here, but can feel the air continue to moisten. Been out all day taking down Christmas lights; what a great day to be outside!
Noticeable thickening of cloud deck the last 15 min. Wont be long. Gonna climb the roof and get a look west to North Mountain to see when it crosses the range!
Anything over 4" is a good storm in my book. Always been my benchmark. And anything over 6" is a big storm. Don't know about the latter, but the former appears within reach. Add in the cold temps and this could be a great event.
If that happens AND WSW verifies it goes down with Dec 19, 2009, for me. The night of the epic Christmas storm when dallas beat the undefeated saints..... also on a Saturday night!
Obs:
26 / 17
30.47
27 / 14. Beautiful stars and waxing crescent moon. Patchy high clouds over spreading. Would be a great night for the firepit, but dont want to add any heat to the environment!
When would we ever again see 3 feet of snow and temps that stayed below freezing for a week, and in low sun season? The answer: never. '96 eats snowmageddon and defecates PD1 and 2.
What is the record for latest first freeze? It might be in jeopardy.
ETA: I see the 6z tries to break down the ridge by h288. Probably just another d12 head fake.
Here, it's pretty typical of every winter.
I think my point was more how local the dryness has been. Most of the region has received significantly more, especially in Feb and Mar.
