svh19044 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Where you at exactly? I'm pretty close to the Willow Grove Turnpike Entrance, just above 280'. And it's down to 34.5, which still seems low by a degree. I'll keep numbers to myself until I can verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Mike DeFino is actually a great meteorologist. He provides consistently updated detailed analysis every time there is a winter storm. Sure, his map looks a little amateur, but take a minute to read his blogs. They are plenty full of information. I'm not saying Mike is definitely one of these (I haven't read his blog), but I've noticed plenty of mets who are really smart, know their stuff (probably better than I do), but let their mind wander too much into the "what if's" instead of concentrating on the "most likely". Just an observation. A good FORECAST met (and that emphasis is intended) is one who doesn't wish-cast or get carried away in possible scenarios, one who hones in on the most likely scenario. Because that's what the average customer wants: A forecast, not a wish-cast or fantasy-cast or a lot of "what ifs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 lol i know...my temp at the course is 41 at 500ft...my house at 200 ft is down to 36. Amazing how much impact a couple hundred feet can have on radiational cooling. Luckily, we reverse the roles and are one of the cooler spots in precip.

tombo82685 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 32F wetbulb isotherm down to S PA/PHL, western NJ and NYC. thats not the issue right now imho...this is... if precip were falling right now with these temps it wouldnt be snow it would be prob freezing rain.

Isotherm Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 thats not the issue right now imho...this is... if precip were falling right now with these temps it wouldnt be snow it would be prob freezing rain. Agreed. If the 900mb layer is still above freezing, the surface doesn't mean much. We need the entire 850-sfc layer to fall to freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in my case, just plain rain. Still stuck at 43F here. At this rate PHL will bypass me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the entire 850-sfc layer to fall to freezing. If the column is 2 above that can be over come with evap cooling, but above that it gets trickier.
