  1. Haven’t measured, but a few tenths probably by eye.
  2. Steady light snow. Very pretty. Roofs, mulch, and paved surfaces whitening.
  3. 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.
  4. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0C-1-24-100-usa-rad
  5. 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.
  6. You’re that much farther NW so I think that’s reasonable.
  7. 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.
  8. No climate impact expected from Hunga Tonga
  9. @RaleighWx was going with D-1” of snow and sleet for them, so that looks right on.
  10. Snow and sleet at my sisters house in Cary, NC. They have a roof/mulch dusting. Never was pure snow she said.
  11. 12/0 now. Got down to 10.6 earlier. Coldest in a long damn time. Crazy to think it will be raining in 12-14 hours.
  12. I should be clear. That response would be for next winter.
  13. From a purely mid-Atlantic weather weenie point of view, we do NOT want another Pinatubo. Stratospheric volcanic response is a strong winter time +AO.
  14. Lol 23 at DCA. The Streak probably lives yet again.
  15. That's wild, I just looked. 12z GFS also has this thin pocket of warm air aloft at 850mb west of the Apps at 0z Monday. Seems that there's a 850-700mb secondary low that moves west of the Apps and brings that warm air aloft. Interesting.
  16. It's making the last hour of work go easier.
  17. Well in your Jan 2016 type events, it usually is pure weenie fodder. At least the 12k.
