Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I do have to wonder exactly where the cold air is coming from. No high, not much antecedent cold at the surface as it approaches. All dynamically driven as the thing spins up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr No Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Warm ground temps, Feb sun angle, temps in the mid-30s... rimes, snow holes, Reagan national measuring spot Figured I'd beat you all to the posts of doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmichweather Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I do have to wonder exactly where the cold air is coming from. No high, not much antecedent cold at the surface as it approaches. All dynamically driven as the thing spins up? A cold front from the previous storm is sort of hung up over OH valley and as it begins to deepen it draws down some of that colder air. The dynamics do help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmichweather Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The surface isn't ideal though.... it would be a marginal temp wise at the surface but good snowfall rates and it snowing later in the afternoon/night should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dynamically driven as the thing spins up? It's all about track and ull setup. The air is cold enough as long as no stoopid fooked up low to our nw acts like a tropical vacuum. This is a classic ma snow setup. It's just been so long its become hard to recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
