CooL Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 i am wondering now after looking at those pics if some snow totals were boosted by roof snow..Think about it, i remember seeing less than an inch left on everyone's roof, all of the snow that would normally stick in a regular snowstorm on roofs blew to the ground.

Then I take 5 measurements to get an average. Not sure what other people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah dude I hate Florida so much... Yeah keep that crap down there for now. I'm good with 2-3 months of the year being 80F+ and that's it. Florida's warm season goes from March to November, when highs are frequently 90+. May/June usually bring the strongest heat, before T-storm season kicks in.

Their severe/rainy season would be fun though with all the seabreeze boundaries and the juice you get by July/August. Definitely an interesting place to forecast that time of year, but it would totally suck when you just went from winter to 4 months of 80/60 and Sunny.

Yeah, not to mention very high humidity much of the time. Ugh it must be awful. Although all the thunderstorms would be fun to track, and of course so would the occasional hurricane.

Cfa Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I felt at home in Central Florida during a period of almost-100 degree weather. The little increase in the sun's intensity felt odd at first though (at around noon-ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 How do people down there celebrate Christmas with temps in the 60's and 70's I flew to F.L on 12/25 this year when it was in the 20s. It was 78 and sunny when we landed. It was so weird to be driving with the windows open on Christmas. Then the next day it was in the 40s and cloudy all day while 1-3' feet of snow fell in the north, with even a few inches as far south as Georgia, and flurries came close to the GA/FL border. Its a good thing my house "only" got 11-12" or I would've been pissed to miss out on 20-30" amounts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've been saying that (and so has Dr. Robinson, NJ State Climatologist). Every KU has some roof blown snow off, but January 1996 and December 2010 were probably the more extreme ones due to drifting and roof blown snow.

uncle W Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've been saying that (and so has Dr. Robinson, NJ State Climatologist). I've been saying this for years...I didn't measure the 12/26/10 event...I tried during the blizzard of 96...My alleyway had 19" of snow depth with over 2" of melted core samples...I had a 4" plastic rain gauge and I measured the contents every six hours...I measured the snow before I emptied it for melting...I came up with 23.0" and about 1.75" of precipitation...My 23" is on par with the coop site three miles to my se...They measured 23.6"...It is impossible to get a accurate measurement unless it is in an open field that's level...The 1/26 storm had much more snow on the roofs of houses...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Every KU has some roof blown snow off, but January 1996 and December 2010 were probably the more extreme ones due to drifting and roof blown snow. The wind is a double edged sword, Compaction from the snow flake crystal being destroyed contributes to lower totals. So the the real question is, does compaction = roof snow? That would be some serious math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
