KChuck Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yep...it was a short lived event. Almost like a summer storm when you see the precip coming at you and the sun is shining a mile or so away. Except this was of the frozen variety and no thunder. Hmmmm....thunder graupel. That would send a tingle up Cantori's leg! I heard something her in Pine Knolls while on the laptop taking care of bills but did not get up to look. Also blinds were closed. Interesting.

metalicwx366 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I really see this area as suffering from BL issues due to the leaves still on the ground. When skies heal the temps seem to take longer to get colder in general. Verbatim I would not be surprised if the snow shadow affected these areas. :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChuck Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 On a side note...I subscribe to the Comet Weather program emails and found this one interesting. Comet provides free online modules where you can get a good education on aspects pertaining to the weather. Received the following a bit ago: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new module "GOES-R ABI: Next Generation Satellite Imaging". This one-hour module focuses on the next generation GOES-R ABI 16-channel imager to be launched this decade. With increased spectral coverage, higher spatial resolution, more frequent imaging, and improved image pixel geolocation and radiometric performance, the ABI will bring significant improvements to forecasting, numerical weather prediction, and climate and environmental monitoring. The first part of the module introduces the ABI's key features and improvements over earlier GOES imagers. The second section lets users interactively explore the ABI's 16 channels. The third section contains movies that show the improvements that the ABI will bring to the following application areas: convection, flooding, wildfires, land cover, hurricanes, climate, air quality, aviation, coastal and marine, and fog and low visibility. The final section contains additional resources pertaining to the ABI. The module has numerous takeaways, including ten application movies and an interactive spectrum. Please follow this link to the MetEd description page that provides additional information and a link to begin the module: GOES-R ABI: Next Generation Satellite Imaging.

jburns Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I really see this area as suffering from BL issues due to the leaves still on the ground. When skies heal the temps seem to take longer to get colder in general. Verbatim I would not be surprised if the snow shadow affected these areas. I'm still hoping for a 2 hour delay. I made one addition. Hope you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
