  1. My PWS says 32. Neighbor has 31. Radar is showing the dry slot, but we have a bunch of rain first.
  2. Questions now: how much snowpack survives the night? How warm does it get? Can we tack on any more tomorrow morning? 18z 3k NAM was bullish on snow tomorrow AM.
  3. 2.6” will be the total for today. -FZRA and a few pingers now. Snow already getting crunchy and a little compacted.
  4. 2.6” now. Changeover is imminent. Very icy rimed flakes.
  5. Matches my measurement well. Going to measure again when we start to mix.
  6. Back home and 2.4” on the snowboard. Absolutely pounding right now. The drive home from our friends house was dicey. All that pretreatment didn’t seem to do much.
  7. Still small flakes in Columbia but snowing more heavily
  8. At a friends house so can’t measure on the snowboard yet, but eyeballing close to 1”.
  9. Haven’t measured, but a few tenths probably by eye.
  10. Steady light snow. Very pretty. Roofs, mulch, and paved surfaces whitening.
  11. It’s essentially showing how similarly the various hydrometeors (precipitation) are reflecting radar energy back to the radar. When it’s a uniform red color, they all are quite similar. Right now, that means all snow. Later, you’ll see a bright yellow and green line cutting through. That’s where there’s a lot of mixing and different types of precipitation droplets/particles.

  13. 2-3:1. But sleet into a snow layer doesn’t immediately add much because it’s just sort of cratering into it and compacting the snow.
  14. You’re that much farther NW so I think that’s reasonable.
  15. Dang, you’re more optimistic than I and I thought I was weenieing out a bit. I was thinking 2” was a solid bar to clear.
  16. No climate impact expected from Hunga Tonga
  17. @RaleighWx was going with D-1” of snow and sleet for them, so that looks right on.
